Local accountability

Evidence that stands up to scrutiny

Completed activity is reviewed with local councils before it contributes to reporting, giving boards, procurement teams and stakeholders a record they can rely on.

Impact and reporting

See what your programme is delivering

Verified activity feeds into impact measurement and reporting so organisations can understand participation, community outcomes and Social Value where appropriate.
