WISH Yorkshire & Humberside is back with our next event: Beyond the Tender: Social Value in Action
We're digging into social value and outcomes. How do social value commitments translate into real outcomes for tenants and communities? We'll cover the practical delivery, the lessons learned, and the impact that goes beyond ticking a box at procurement stage.
Our Speakers:

Chris Smith is Assistant Director of Property Investment at Together Housing Group, with over 20 years’ experience in social housing. Passionate about creating better homes, stronger communities and lasting social impact, Chris champions an approach to investment that goes beyond bricks and mortar – putting people, opportunity and positive outcomes at its heart.
Sheridan Boyd - Senior Project Coordinator, Together Housing Group
Sheridan Boyd is Senior Project Coordinator at Together Housing Group, playing a key role in delivering large-scale retrofit and net zero programmes. Passionate about bringing customers on the journey, Sheridan focuses on meaningful engagement – ensuring greener, more energy-efficient homes deliver real benefits for the people who live in them and the wider communities they call home.
Louise Miles - Social Value Partner, VICO Homes
Louise Miles is Social Value Partner at VICO Homes, working to ensure investment in homes and places creates meaningful benefits beyond the build itself. Through collaboration with partners and communities, Louise focuses on turning social value commitments into real opportunities – supporting local people, strengthening communities and creating a legacy that lasts.
