B4 Social Value Lounge: Celebrating Impact, Sharing Learning and Connecting Communities

This session transforms the NHMF Frameworx Lounge into a dedicated Social Value Lounge, bringing together clients, partners and providers to celebrate meaningful social value delivery across the sector.

Attendees will join us for a relaxed drinks reception as we recognise the Winners and Highly Commended organisations from the Social Value Award (announced at Monday night’s 25th Anniversary NHMF Best Practice Awards Dinner), who will be formally presented with their social value donation cheques.

The session will hear directly from the award winners and highly commended clients, who will share insights into their social value projects, the outcomes achieved to date, and how the donations will be used to further support and enhance these initiatives. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage in an open discussion around delivering, measuring and maximising social value in practice.

Axis CLC will also share their approach to social value delivery and the impact they create for clients and communities.

The remainder of the session will provide dedicated time for informal networking, encouraging collaboration, learning and connection between conference attendees.
