The SROI Primer

The SROI Primer has been designed to introduce how to measure social outputs, outcomes and impacts, and to use of the Social Return on Investment (SROI) approach to valuing some social impacts in monetary terms.

This web tool is the result of collaboration between London Business School and nef (new economics foundation), which was made possible with the financial support of The Social Enterprise Unit within the Small Business Service of the Department of Trade and Industry. Input into its development came from a broad range of contributors including Stephanie Robertson, GSVC Faculty Advisor (2002-2004), London Business School, and Jeremy Nicholls and Lisa Sanfilippo of nef. The final product benefited from the advice and guidance of Hetan Shah and Andrea Westall of nef, and Jessica Rafinski and Bernadette Bickerton of The Social Enterprise Unit. This project has been developed with support from the Social Enterprise Partnership (GB) Ltd. Quality & Impact Project, funded by the European Social Fund's Equal Programme.
