Cultural Assets & Social Value

The following publications belong to the Cultural Assets & Social Value research strand led by Gayle Whelan. Gayle joined the ICC in March 2014 from the Applied Health and Wellbeing Partnership at the Centre for Public Health, Liverpool John Moores University. She has been active in public health research for seven years, evaluating organisations and projects delivering both cultural and health benefits to the wider community.

As a social impact analyst, Gayle has used Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology in a number of projects, including a two-year project mapping community assets on the Wirral which used social value methodology to understand the impacts of assets on mental health and wellbeing. Gayle is currently engaged with a number of research projects. Publications from these projects will appear here as they become available.
