Typically, over $500 in Social Value is generated for every regularly active member.
This module converts participation data into a measurable dollar value, revealing how being physically active reduces health risks, supports mental wellbeing, and improves productivity and educational attainment. It provides a credible and consistent way to show the broader economic and social benefits generated through your facilities, sports or programs, helping you secure investment, inform policy, and connect with a wider range of stakeholders.

For World Leisure Day (April 16), we showcased a facility in Melbourne that was creating real, measurable community impact, captured through our newly enhanced Social Value module.
In 2024 alone, this facility generated over $28 million in estimated community savings, demonstrating the transformative role leisure can play when access, programming, and data work together.
This is awarded every quarter to the facilities and teams who have generated the highest relative increase in Social Value in each period.
