For housing associations & community benefit teams

Your suppliers’ community benefit,
captured & compiled for you.

The old way

Chase each contractor for their monthly community-benefit return. Collate the spreadsheets. Re-key everything.

The new way

Suppliers log their community activity in the room in two minutes. It’s costed automatically and compiled into a report that slots into the community-benefit lines of your return — nothing chased, nothing re-keyed.

Works with your framework, not against it

Owl Impact doesn’t replace your reporting framework — it captures the ground-up evidence your framework can’t see, and hands it to you compiled. It covers the hands-on community, careers and skills activity your suppliers deliver — the staff-time social value that normally goes unrecorded — not the local spend or employment figures your framework already tracks.

Your suppliers are already delivering community benefit — school sessions, apprenticeships, careers talks, community projects. The evidence exists for a moment in a room, then vanishes into memory and month-old spreadsheets. Owl Impact captures it at source and rolls it up to you.

Three things it does for you

01

Suppliers’ community activity, compiled for you

Every community session a supplier logs rolls up automatically into a period report per contractor — costed and formatted to drop into the community-benefit lines of your return. The chase-and-collate cycle disappears.

02

Live in-room capture

Logged in the room, in about two minutes, while the session is happening — not reconstructed weeks later. Every figure traces back to a dated, logged session. Logged delivery, self-reported value, fully traceable.

03

Distance travelled

The youth-outcome shift no costing platform captures — measured before and after the session, showing the change in young people’s view of their future.

A separate outcome measure — not part of the social value calculation.

How it works

1

Suppliers log in the room

A two-minute form after any community activity — school visit, careers talk, apprenticeship session, community project.

2

Value is calculated

Each activity becomes a costed figure in pounds, automatically — calculated using an established social value proxy of £16.93 per staff hour, inclusive of preparation time.

3

The community-benefit lines compile themselves

Sessions roll up into a period report per supplier, costed and formatted to slot into your return — ready for board, regulator or framework reporting.

Distance travelled — the layer that shows it worked

A separate outcome measure — captured before and after, showing the shift in young people’s view of their future. Not part of the social value calculation. The layer that shows the money moved something.

Costing platforms can tell you what community benefit is worth. They can’t tell you whether it worked. This can.

Start with one supplier

You don’t need to roll this out across the supply chain on day one. Pick one contractor with a community-benefit obligation this quarter, have them log their next session, and see the compiled return land.

Talk to us → Test it live. Two minutes per session. Your suppliers need nothing but the link.
