Making an Impact – Glasgow Health Walks – Social Return on Investment – PathsforAll – 2013

Paths for All commissioned this study to analyse the impact of the Glasgow Health Walk programme between April 2011 and March 2012.

The programme of Health Walks across Glasgow are supported by a range of partners including Paths for All, Glasgow Life, North Glasgow Healthy Living Community and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. The overarching steering group is called Walk Glasgow.
The Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis, was carried out by greenspace scotland and shows that Glasgow Health Walks have been highly effective in creating social value. SROI is an accepted method of calculating the social, environmental and economic impact of a programme.
