Social value
At The Walton Centre, social value means the measurable impact of our services upon patients, staff and communities and we want our legacy to be to provide high-quality treatment, care and patient experience, and to have a positive impact on our people, city and wider communities.
For the last two years, the Trust has measured its social value impact.In the 2023/24 report, the Trust was able to evidence £227,251.45sv which provided our initial baseline. In the 2024/25 report, we were able to evidence £95,298,338sv impact which is a significant achievement and equates to the following:
Social value is measured in terms of:
- Work - local recruitment, career support schools, colleges, universities, apprenticeship programmes, pre-employment programmes
- Economy - comprehensive staff wellbeing programme, local companies spend in the supply chain
- Community - initiatives to support community resilience e.g. Liverpool Citizens
- Planet - CO2 reductions, recycling and reduction in waste, environmental leadership.
