Compassionate Inverclyde launch report – Realising the Value of Kindness

We are pleased to share our third report on Compassionate Inverclyde, a multi-award-winning social movement established as the first Compassionate Community in Scotland. Our new report considers the social value realised over the five years Compassionate Inverclyde has been fully operational. We estimate a 3:1 social return on investment from creating wellbeing and resilience, building social capital and avoiding costs for citizens and for statutory services. This excludes additional value from the High 5 programme and work with children and young people. Scotland’s Deputy First Minister met with Compassionate Inverclyde volunteers in July 2023 and was impressed with what has been achieved. Watch the short video of her below.
