How Hertfordshire Community Meals provides social value

Costs and savings

Clearly, Hertfordshire Community Meals is not just a provider of meals. The SROI study revealed that HCM has a hugely positive indirect impact on a wide range of stakeholders. Perhaps most importantly, this impact translates into tangible savings for public sector organisations. Indeed, the SROI study argued that from a total investment of around £2.3m (in 2011/2012), HCM generated approximately £12.3m in wider social value.
