Community association delivers £11 million social impact with under £500,000 investment

Social Return on Investment is a framework that measures the social, environmental, and economic value of an organisation's activities. It provides a consistent way to understand and manage an organisation’s impact. Over a 12 month period, with an investment of under £500,000, the organisation has generated over £11 million in social value, underscoring its vital role in enhancing community well-being, inclusivity, and opportunity.

This impressive SROI figure reflects the tangible and intangible benefits delivered through the Association’s wide range of programmes and services. From supporting families, elderly and youth to promoting health, education, and social inclusion, every initiative is designed to make a lasting impact.

The £11 million return is not just a financial measure - it represents the countless lives touched and positive changes made within Brownhills and Pelsall.

“We are thrilled to share this milestone,” said Janet Davies, Centre Manager at Brownhills Community Association. “It’s a powerful testament to the hard work of our team, the dedication of our volunteers, and the generosity of our partners. Every pound invested in our community is multiplied in value, creating a ripple effect of positive change.”

The Association remains committed to building on this success. Plans include expanding services, launching new community initiatives, and building even stronger partnerships.

“We invite everyone to get involved—whether through volunteering, participating in our programmes, or supporting our cause. Together, we can continue to make Brownhills, Walsall Wood and Pelsall a vibrant, supportive community for all,” added Janet.
