About Tyne & Esk Social Value Engine

Demonstrating the Difference You Make

The Social Value Engine enables organisations to measure, evidence and communicate the wider impact of their work. By quantifying social, economic and environmental outcomes, it helps demonstrate value to funders and stakeholders, supports better investment decisions, and showcases the real difference projects make to communities.

Tyne & Esk CLLD Funding Impact

During the 2025/26 Programme Tyne & Esk LAG and Observer contributions also generated significant value, delivering £7.25 of social value for every £1 invested and creating over £67,500 of additional social value through volunteer-led governance and decision-making.
