New Client: Everybody Leisure
Figuring Out What Matters – Social Impact, Measured with Heart
What’s the real value of a community gym? Or a swim class? Or a space where 100 children with disabilities feel safe and supported each week? For Everybody Leisure, a large trust with 17 sites and over 25,000 members, the answer is clear: it matters. But until now, they’ve lacked the numbers to fully back that up.
That’s where we come in.
The Evaluator has been invited to carry out a full Social Return on Investment (SROI) evaluation for Everybody Leisure in 2025 – and we couldn’t be more excited. This isn’t just about tracking numbers at the door. It’s about understanding the full picture: the wellbeing gains, the mental health boosts, the community connections, and the ripple effect that comes when a leisure trust goes beyond the treadmill.
We’ll be diving deep – creating surveys, listening to real stories, and analysing how this wide-reaching organisation is supporting thousands of people in different ways. From the gym-goers to the participants in health programmes, from volunteers to carers, we’re capturing what this organisation really delivers, and for whom. It’s about more than just proving value – it’s about shaping future programmes and championing the incredible work that already happens day in, day out.
SROI is a powerful tool. It doesn’t just measure change in pounds and pence – it tells the story of that change in people’s own words. And with a strong team (including in-person visits, case studies, and data analysis from every angle), we’ll help Everybody Leisure turn their community impact into something clear, credible, and compelling.
Because understanding what works – and sharing it with funders, staff, and the public – is how we build stronger, fairer systems. And it all starts with asking the right questions.
