Social Value is the benefit our customers and communities gain from contributions made by our contractors and suppliers. Social Value is very important to LiveWest and is a key part of our commitment to our communities. 

Contributions of goods and materials, time and labour, and the delivery of services are made by our contractors and suppliers to add value and additional support to LiveWest and community partner activities or projects.

Partnership working is an important part of the way we work and successful projects can often include social value contributions alongside support from community groups, grant funding, LiveWest and customer volunteering.
