Delivering Social Value

The community benefits of the hub programme reach for beyond the high-quality facilities that we deliver across the region. Every one of our projects integrates a plan to support and enhance the local community. We do this by creating opportunities through social value and economic growth.

We use the Social Value portal measurement model that links directly into the Scottish Government’s National Performance Framework. We work in collaboration with our clients to set appropriate social value targets for each project.

Last year, 52% of hub contracts were awarded to territory based SMEs. Our focus on local employment and developing skills created 10 jobs and and 30 work placements with 1,110 apprenticeship weeks on site.

Helping Hands

As part of the project to deliver the new Riverside Primary School in Perth, our Helping Hands programme team worked with Robertson Construction to deliver £23,000 refurbishment to Moncrieff Community Centre which focussed on upgrading the kitchen facilities to allow for varied use that would allow more events to be held in the hall.

New kitchen, appliances, microwave and LED lighting were fitted in main hall, kitchen and small hall and painted throughout.  The facility can now cater to a much wider range of events such as birthday parties and pop-up cafes, with the ability to prepare full hot meals. It will encourage greater integration with the community, unlocking the potential for many other events, and has already seen a 30% uplift in bookings from the refurbishment.
