We’ve made the Social Impact Pledge even simpler

To start with, we are asking public bodies in Scotland to make a commitment to change something about the way they do things - i.e. something they weren’t doing before - that will benefit communities.

By ‘communities’, we mean either people who use their services or people and community groups more generally.

Pledges can be time specfic (e.g. for one year) but, if possible, they should be available on an ongoing basis. They can always be changed in future.

Public bodies can make up to three commitments as part of their Social Impact Pledge, but one really good commitment will be great as a minimum.

What happens then?

We’ll put the pledge up on the site and make it as easy as possible for people and community groups to find and make use of it.
