\"Michaela<\/p>\n

A volunteer from Severfield, one of our Key Delivery Partners, gave her support to a West Cumbrian fitness firm which aims to enhance its ability to evaluate and demonstrate its social impact.<\/p>\n

Fit 4 Life, which has gyms in Maryport, Workington and Whitehaven, looks to improve the health and well-being of all local people. It especially aims to help those with, or at risk of developing, chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes or a stroke.<\/p>\n

It posted on the Timebank platform\u00a0Together for Good<\/a> asking for guidance to strengthen their evaluation systems and better communicate the value of their work.<\/p>\n

Responding, Michaela Lindridge, Head of Environmental, Social and Governance for Severfield, provided tailored support. She undertook an initial consultation to understand Fit 4 Life\u2019s needs and then visited their main centre in Maryport.<\/p>\n

The session included a presentation on Social Value Frameworks, plus a discussion on the importance of data capture and reporting, and the development of a customised internal reporting system.<\/p>\n

Giving Back<\/h3>\n

Michaela said: \u201cGiving back to organisations is deeply rooted in me, as I started my career in the charity and not-for-profit sector. To use my skills to support Fit 4 Life at this critical time is not even a question.<\/p>\n

“Seeing them embrace the knowledge I\u2019ve shared, and thrive, is a feeling like no other. I\u2019m honoured to help Dougie and his team in their incredible mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dougie Pomfret, who manages Fit 4 Life, added: \u201cWe asked for help with evidencing our social value to strengthen funding applications and our ability to tender for NHS projects.<\/p>\n

“Michaela introduced us to tools and methods we hadn\u2019t considered, and her expertise has already made a huge difference.<\/p>\n

“This will help us ensure the long-term sustainability of our organisation and continue to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n
