Our Research

The Social Value Commission’s research combines evidence-based analysis with real-life case studies to inform its recommendations. Our work focuses on providing practical solutions to address the issues that prevent local communities from accessing the investment and infrastructure that works for them.


New Polling:

Brits are proud of where they live but don’t feel they are benefiting from increased investment:

  • In almost every constituency, people are more likely to feel proud of their area than think their area is thriving. With declining high streets and pot-holes cited as biggest issues.

  • Almost 3 in 5 Brits are in favour of investment and infrastructure in their area, but currently feel they see no benefits from previous projects.

  • The Social Value Commission will make series of recommendations to help deliver long term investment that local people can benefit from.
