In today’s world, businesses are increasingly judged not only by their financial performance but also by the positive impact they have on society.
Over the past two years, we have partnered with Thrive to generate significant social value, making a meaningful difference in communities and lives.
But what exactly is social value, and who is Thrive? Let’s dive in to explore our journey.
What is Social Value?
Social value refers to the positive impact that organisations can create in society.
This impact can be:
- Economic
- Social
- Environmental
Often involves improving the well-being of individuals and communities. For example, creating job opportunities for underprivileged groups, reducing carbon footprints, or supporting local education programs all contribute to social value.

The Partnership: Dimensions Care and Thrive
Two years ago, we embarked on a mission to enhance our social impact.
Partnering with Thrive, we set ambitious goals to improve community welfare, support sustainable development, and foster inclusivity within our operations.
Together, we crafted a strategic plan to generate measurable social value and track our progress over time.
Achievements Over the Past 2 Years
Over the past two years, the partnership with Thrive has exceeded our expectations, resulting in:
- Economic Empowerment: By creating 56 jobs across four different children’s care homes, Dimensions Care has significantly contributed to local economies. These jobs provide stable incomes and opportunities for professional growth.
- Skills Development and Training: Dimensions Care has provided over 1,500 hours of training through inductions, face-to-face sessions, and online courses. This extensive training program ensures that staff are well-equipped to provide the highest level of care.
