Luton Growth Strategy

2024

Luton Growth Strategy, place-based social impact and social value strategy

Theodora worked on the social value approach for Luton's borough-wide economic growth strategy.

The opportunity

The borough's growth strategy needed a social value approach that could connect investment, employment and community outcomes across the whole area, and a practical route to implementation.

Theodora's role

As part of a wider project team, Theodora worked on the social value framework underpinning the growth strategy, helping align economic and community outcomes and shape an implementation roadmap.

Why it mattered

The strategy set out a coherent, borough-wide approach to social value and a practical route to turning growth ambitions into outcomes people would feel.

Theodora worked on this project in a previous role, before co-founding Work Shop. It was not commissioned or delivered by Work Shop.
