About the Social Value Collaborative

The Social Value Collaborative (SVC) is a strategic partnership dedicated to building a more resilient, inclusive, and impactful social economy across Northern Ireland and the border counties. SVC is a project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The project represents a €1.02 million investment in the future of the region’s social economy.

Our partners

We are an innovative consortium led by Enterprise Evolution in partnership with Catalyst NI, supported by the Department for the Economy (NI) and Women in Business NI.

Our goal

Our goal is to deliver a transformative shift in how social value is understood and practiced. We help organisations professionalise their impact measurement, ensuring they can compete for major contracts, secure investment, and clearly evidence the positive impact they have in their communities.

Throughout the duration of the programme we will work with 60 organisations by providing the following:

Expert Training

Intensive social value support for groups of likeminded organisations.

Digital Platform

Access to tools that streamline measurement and reporting.

Coaching

Customised support for organisations.

SVC Network

A dedicated space for shared learning and growth.

Why join the programme?

The Social Value Collaborative is here to help your organisation move from knowing you make a difference to proving it with confidence.

Social value is becoming central to funding, commissioning and partnership decisions. By taking part, you can turn the impact you already deliver into credible, compelling evidence that strengthens your organisation in an increasingly outcomes-driven environment.

Is my organisation eligible?

Voluntary, community, and social-enterprise organisations in any sector, based in Northern Ireland or the border counties of Ireland (Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth), are eligible to apply.

Whether you are at an early stage or already have impact systems in place, the programme adapts to your starting point equipping you with practical tools, expert guidance and peer collaboration to strengthen your approach.
