Re-Connect Project SROI

“Down to Earth Project is a Not–for–Profit Social Enterprise working with members of the community for the past 15 years to deliver relationship centred and meaningful, outdoor experiences to vulnerable and disadvantaged young people and adults. Having worked for the last ten years with local National Health Service (NHS) Trust Swansea Bay University Health Board (formerly Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board), delivering programmes, and Swansea University, developing a long–term clinical research programme, Down to Earth have a robust evidence base and reliable track record as to the health benefits of its programmes and approach to health and education. Bringing together two Welsh Government public health bodies, NHS Wales and Natural Resources Wales, Down to Earth created a project that aims to  encourage and evidence the benefit of sharing resources and best practice across health care departments for the benefit of patients with long term chronic health conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of Down to Earth’s Re–Connect Project using the Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology. The project ran for 18 months from July 2018 until December 2019.”
