Social Value of Developing Coaches to Deliver High Quality Coaching Sessions

Social Return on Investment (SROI) is a framework for measuring value that changes the way we communicate the impact of our work. By working closely with stakeholders, SROI identifies and values social, environmental and economic outcomes, providing clear understanding of the value, or social value, created. 

This report presents an evaluative SROI analysis, based on primary research conducted over two years, helping the reader to understand the true value of developing coaches with the capability to deliver high quality coaching sessions. It focuses on three organisations that developed a cohort of 5 individuals to deliver high quality coaching  sessions in their local community, in accordance with the SROI principles. The main outcome of the research is that for every £1 invested in coaches, £3 worth of social value was returned.
