What are we measuring via the toolkit?
Other methods to measure other things SROI HACT toolkit
There is a place for this and we measure social impact
LM3 was developed by NEF (New Economics Foundation) as a simple and understandable way of measuring local economic impact. It is designed to help people think about local money flows and how their organisation can practically improve its local economic impact, as well as influence the public sector to consider the impact of its procurement decisions.
An economic multiplier effect describes the impact that spending has in the economy, taking into consideration knock-on effects. The measuring process starts with a source of income and follows how it is spent and re-spent within a defined geographic area.

16. NPT Homes Copper Foundation
Copper Foundation is a working title to distinguish the project from the external and environmental programme and existing TR&T and employment related community benefits.
In 1578, Ulrich Fosse was the first person to smelt copper at Aberdulais. From this humble start the Industrial Revolution began which provided employment and prosperity for the region, from an element that was already there in the ground under their feet.
Likewise, the environmental programme can provide opportunities and jobs to local people. The environmental work is to be done on people’s doorsteps and cannot by its very nature be removed to another location.
By utilising the opportunities presented by the environmental programme to local estates and spaces the Copper Foundation converts this into training and employment. with the opportunity of sustainable prospects.
