Community Star Toolkit

The Outcomes Star for community involvement

Development: Triangle Consulting with Groundwork UK and 17 Groundwork Trusts as part of the Greener Living programme sponsored by Marks & Spencers through the sale of plastic bags in their stores. In addition we are working alongside the New Economics Foundation to explore the use of the Community Star to provide evidence of value within a limited Social Return on Investment (SROI) exercise.

The Community Star Online available thanks to the financial support of the Big Lottery Fund who contracted Triangle to develop the on-line version.
