Salford CVS facilitates Salford Social Value Alliance which is a partnership between the public sector, the private sector and the voluntary community and social enterprise sectors, aimed at producing more Social Value in Salford.
Members of Salford Social Value Alliance believe that social value is an integral part of how we do business and should contribute to making Salford a fairer, greener, healthier and more inclusive city for all. All local organisations can contribute to this by becoming a member of the Alliance and creating social value through a commitment to Salford’s 10% Better Campaign.
The 10% Better Campaign
