Demonstrating the impact of arts and cultural work is an essential part of delivering high-quality practice. It's important for understanding whether their activities are achieving the intended outcomes, providing external validation, and supporting advocacy by clearly articulating value to other sectors. Social Return on Investment is a framework for measuring and accounting for a broader concept of value. It measures change in ways that are relevant to the people or organisations that experience it.
