Delivering social value
We know what is important to our residents and we design our services and shape our placemaking vision around what they tell us matters most to them. Our holistic approach means we invest in economic and social regeneration hand in hand with physical development.
As part of our regeneration of the Teviot Estate in partnership with Hill, we have developed an industry leading social value programme, which has seen over £30m social impact generated preplanning. This has included employment and skill development, programmes to empower young people and a successful festival that has helped increase community cohesion. This community investment has been brought forward in partnership with local people and will see £245m of social impact across the project lifetime.
Our extensive programmes deliver services and infrastructure that directly benefit local people including:
- Health & wellbeing
- Community hubs
- Jobs and skills
- Business & workspace
- Heritage, arts and culture
