The Social Return on Investment (SROI) Project, which is being run for the Scottish Government  by so­cial enterprise firm Forth Sector, has launched the SROI database of indicators and prox­ies. This is an important new resource. Based on the past experience of SROI work, it asks you to enter a type of outcome. You are then presented with a list of specific outcomes, indicators and proxies which you might wish to use or adapt in evaluating your own work. In particular it is intended to help organisations to find comparable values for the impact of their work. It aims to help to make SROI more cred­ible as it will be clear where financial proxies have come from and how reliable they are. It should also make SROI cheaper as less time is needed to research potential proxies.
