Evaluating Social Value in Housing

The specialist social value evaluation tool for housing providers

We’ve been helping housing providers measure and evaluate their social value since 2015. Trusted by some of the largest providers and associations across the country, Impact makes measuring and evaluating social value easier than ever before. 

Switch to a better way of evaluating and communicating social and environmental impact

Creating positive impact is intrinsically linked to your business model and if it’s not properly measured and evaluated, how can you reliably evidence it? Make the switch to Impact and see why we’re trusted by over 10,000 users worldwide.  

Framework independent

Migrate over your existing measurement frameworks and values from HACT, TOMS and Social Value Bank in just a few clicks. We’ll even help you develop customised measurements for things not covered by existing frameworks.

Easily Visualise progress

It can be challenging to understand progress and outcomes when staring at numbers on a spreadsheet. Instead, visualise your progress across unified dashboards and build a better sense of your performance.

Demonstrate ‘Value For Money’

Obtaining evidence that clearly justifies the impact of external funding can be stressful. You shouldn’t have to put up with trawling through documents just to show beneficial changes over time.

Generate and demonstrate increased social return across all your housing projects

Remove yourself from the burden of disorganised spreadsheets and chaotic processes. Impact automatically evaluates the impact and value generated from your activities and initiatives, simultaneously mapping them to the relevant outcomes and translating the data into downloadable charts, graphs and tables for effortless report creation.

  • Measure and evaluate the social value and environmental impact of all your portfolios, communities and beneficiaries
  • Intuitive dashboards that provide at-a-glance progress on each of your commitments, across every project, activity, goal and KPI
  • Automatic mapping of inputs into outputs and outcomes using your existing measurement frameworks and standards, including custom values (both financial and non-financial)

Having a single tool that lets us collect, analyse and report on our social impact across all business areas is priceless.


The Impact platform quantifies our activities, allowing us to make data-driven qualitative and quantitative decisions throughout the year on our social impact investments and initiatives to ensure we hit business targets.
