SV Fest Day 3: Social Value in health and social care

Social Value matters to Essex County Council.

We’re delighted to host a wide range of speakers for a week of learning, sharing experience and debate. The Social Value Festival is taking place on Monday 19 to Thursday 22 July 2021. It is aimed at businesses of any size ranging from small to medium enterprises to large organisations as well as social and community enterprises across a wide range of sectors.

With inspirational keynote speakers and deep dive thematic sessions, the Social Value Festival is the ideal opportunity for organisations to find out more about Social Value and learn how we can deliver it together. Participants can gain an understanding of how Essex County Council evaluates Social Value using the ECC TOMs framework (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) and how to successfully incorporate it into a bid. Samantha Butler, ECC Social Value Lead and Cabinet Office Head of Social Value Skills and Engagement, will launch the Social Value Catalogue.
