Luton Growth Strategy

2024

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

A social value approach for a 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.

What we did

We developed the social value framework underpinning the borough-wide economic growth strategy, aligning economic and community outcomes and setting out an implementation roadmap.

Why it mattered

The borough gained a coherent, borough-wide social value framework and a practical roadmap for turning growth ambitions into outcomes people would actually feel.
