Delivering Reak Impact: PLB & KMBC in Action Supporting Local Communities

On a recent £1.2 million contract for Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, we contributed over 170 hours of community-focused support. This included handy-person days at local community centres, schools, and a scout hut, foodbank collections, and assisting with the delivery and transport of Christmas food hampers to those in need.

One of our proudest achievements on this project was the creation of two apprenticeship opportunities, awarded to Knowsley residents, helping to build meaningful careers and long-term economic benefit within the local community.

Working with Fusion21 to measure our impact, the results speak for themselves: a social return on investment (SROI) of £3,382,089 was achieved over a 12-month period.

This project stands as a powerful example of how strategic partnerships and a strong social value ethos can generate lasting benefits for communities.
