How we collaborate with others

We support social businesses across the UK in a variety of ways. Whether you’re looking for space in one of our centres, libraries, or facilities, we can provide the perfect environment to help you deliver your mission.

We also offer hands-on support and advice - from expert guidance to help you grow, to tools for measuring your social value and scaling your impact.

We believe doing good should run through every part of business. That’s why we welcome partnerships with organisations and social businesses who share our goal of creating positive change in their communities.

It is important to us to see other social businesses thrive. When we work together to drive positive change and action in our communities, we all win. At GLL we have an understanding that we can learn valuable lessons and insights from all our partners and associates and so by helping you where we can, you are helping us shape the future of our own social enterprise.

Capture your social value

Social value is the positive impact your organisation creates for people and communities - beyond financial performance. It includes improvements in health, wellbeing, employment, education, and community cohesion.

At GLL, we’re experts in helping organisations measure and communicate this impact clearly and credibly. With over £1.7 billion in social value generated annually through our services, we understand how to turn meaningful outcomes into measurable value.

Whether you're looking to demonstrate accountability, strengthen funding bids, or simply understand your wider impact, we can help you capture and grow your social value.
