Social Value

At Morgan Sindall Property Services our goal is to create opportunities for people in the communities we serve, as well as supporting communities to be more coherent and economically resilient.

Over the years we have developed our four community programmes to help us deliver on our ambitions to support disadvantaged people into employment, generate prospects for young people, and engage with local charities.

Where possible, we want to quantify the difference we are making to people, communities and society as a whole by calculating the social value created by our community programmes in financial terms. We are certified as a social value organisation, achieving over £14.3 million in social return across all contracts from 2023-24, which is certified by HACT the charity organisation.

Social Value Programmes and Activities

We offer a range of activities to improve the wellbeing of residents, create opportunities for learning, career development and routes into employment.

HEAT Advice Sessions

Our social value team deliver a programme of support and advice sessions to residents each month on energy awareness. These sessions are delivered virtually via Teams or Zoom on the first Wednesday of each month from 11:00am -12:30pm.

  • Understanding your energy bills
  • Managing your energy accounts
  • Advice about finding the best tariff
