Creating social value is at the heart of our mission to end furniture poverty. FRC Group measure our positive impact through a series of annual social value reports, and have won numerous national awards for our impact and rigorous reporting standards.

Understanding how our work creates changes in people’s lives is vitally important. We invest time in measuring the social value that is created across FRC Group because it means we can make sure we are doing more of what works, investing our resources to the best effect and challenging ourselves to produce the best performance we can. Therefore we can ensure we maximise the resources we have available to us, and by measuring the impact we can concentrate our efforts in the areas where we will make the biggest impact to people’s lives.
