What is the big audacious goal?
At Social Value Portal, we’re dedicated to doing more and being bolder. That’s why we’ve committed to a Big Audacious Goal (the B.A.G) to deliver £100 billion worth of social value by 2025.
Our goal is equal to the total amount spent by the UK on education each year. By achieving it, millions of people’s lives, and communities across the UK will see positive impact.

Collaborate on creation
We believe the power of the collective is proven and so we’re calling on everyone to become a Social Value Creator. Make your own pledge to do more good for people and communities.
We’ve already created almost £12 billion in social value with our members. As more organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors commit to providing social value support, we know that we can achieve even more.

Why pledge?
Public Sector
Any public sector body can be a Social Value Creator. From reassessing your procurement, your pipelines or your human resources strategy, there’s a long list of opportunities for your institution to make a real difference.
Pledging as a Social Value Creator will have many benefits for you and your community, such as:
- Meet the public sector commitment (Social Value Act 2012)
- Positive community relations
- Auditable and verified outcomes
Improved organisational success and management
Private Sector
More and more businesses know the power of creating social value. From established corporates to new waves of start-ups, companies recognise that the boundaries between financial and non-financial successes are blurring.
Pledging as a Social Value Creator will have many benefits for your business:
- Positive business relations
- Auditable and verified outcomes – going further than ESG reporting
- Improved staff recruitment, retention and satisfaction
Winning and retaining public sector contracts
