Social Value
What is Social Value?
Social value is an activity or service that goes above and beyond and adds value to the community. We create a lot of social value across our organisation and it’s embedded within our culture and our day to day business. We always look for opportunities to work with external stakeholders and suppliers to increase the impact our work has on our communities and residents. Supporting overall health and well-being and maximising opportunities for education, jobs, and skills development.
Some of the work we do...
Employment, training, education and volunteering
We work with our contractors and partners to offer opportunities to training, volunteering and jobs. Our contractor partner Williams Homes, with support from ClwydAlyn, has set up a factory unit at HMP Berwyn, which produces ready-made housing panels to be used on ClwydAlyn and other new housing developments.
The workshop provides practical skills and qualifications for inmates, to equip them to gain employment on release. ClwydAlyn has invested £41,000 to support the scheme.
