Jenny Her-Place service Manager stated:
“This report evidences the immense value that our work brings—not only to the individuals we support, but to society at large. We are particularly proud of our success in supporting mothers to keep their families together, reducing demand on social services, and empowering women and girls to thrive.”
Using nationally recognised databases such as the New Economy Manchester Unit Cost Database and the national TOMS (Themes, Outcomes and Measures) framework, Motherwell has been able to quantify the outcomes of its services into clear economic and social benefits for the region.
