in May 2012 two of the SROI reports developed through the programme were assured by the SROI Network. Assurance means the analysis has been independently checked by qualified assessors and assured by a panel to have been prepared in line with the principles of SROI and is therefore to a consistent standard.
The two reports are:
Auchinleck Community Development Initiative
and Bums Off Seats
