Social Value Partnership Hub

SIB has launched a new online platform called the Social Value Partnership Hub.

The Hub has been created to help businesses, charities, social enterprises, community groups and voluntary organisations across Northern Ireland connect with each other and work together to make a positive difference in local communities.

If you’re a charity, social enterprise, community group or voluntary organisation:

• You can post details of a project, activity or community need.
• You can ask for support such as:
  • Volunteers and staff time
  • Professional skills or expertise
  • Donations, funding or equipment
  • Other practical help

This allows local businesses to find your project and get involved.

If you’re a business:

• You can search for projects and community organisations looking for support.
• You can respond to requests for help.
• You can also advertise what you can offer, such as staff volunteering, professional expertise, equipment or funding.

The Hub can help businesses meet social value commitments, but it’s also a great way to build relationships with local communities, support good causes and develop volunteering and community engagement opportunities to fulfil your general CSR policies.
