Today we've released new evidence demonstrating the Social Return on Investment (SROI) of the Set for Success programme. The independent analysis shows that for every £1 invested in Set for Success, £5.63 of social value is generated, illustrating the programme’s significant contribution to improving young people’s wellbeing and life chances. The study, carried out by Sheffield Hallam University’s School of Sport and Physical Activity Research Centre, found that the first year of programme delivery (2023/24 academic year) generated a total estimated social value of £4.06 million. This impact was achieved through two main outcomes: ✅ Enhanced personal wellbeing: improvements in the life satisfaction and confidence of young participants, valued at £2.39 million. ✅ Improved future prospects: a reduced likelihood of young people becoming not in education, employment or training, valued at £1.67 million.
