A group of ten people stand side by side on an outdoor sports field, smiling for the camera. They are dressed in sportswear and have just taken part in a charity rugby event. Behind them is a blue tent with the logo and text "Bristol Bears Community Foundation" and a banner on the right with the logo "Morgan Lovell." The setting is sunny, with a clear sky and a modern building with a balcony in the background.

Social value at Morgan Lovell

At Morgan Lovell, social value is embedded in our culture. Our mission is to make a positive and lasting impact on existing, new and evolving communities, seeing every project as an opportunity to make a real difference.

Socio economic empowerment

We're proud to support local communities through meaningful partnerships. We prioritise local SMEs in our supply chain and provide training for young people and disadvantaged groups, including NEETs and ex offenders. Supporting 16 to 24 year olds through the Kickstart Scheme and actively collaborating with local charities and social enterprises ensure that our projects leave a lasting social impact.

Our Gold accreditation under the Armed Forces Covenant recognises our commitment to supporting veterans and their families. As a member of the Disability Confident Scheme, we're also committed to creating accessible, inclusive workplaces and supporting diverse talent.

One Good Thing

On all our projects we pledge to do 'One Good Thing'. This initiative ensures that each project delivers at least one positive contribution to the local community, whether it's volunteering, school engagement or an in kind donation to a local charity or organisation that means something to you. We're a huge believer that one good thing can make a real difference.

Community commitment

  • We take a flexible approach to social value, with dedicated social value managers across our divisions. We support clients to meet their goals through research and in house measurement, or by working within existing frameworks like Section 106. We recognise that local needs vary, so we tailor our efforts accordingly.

  • We believe in the power of small actions to create big change. That's why we encourage our employees to work with grassroots communities or lend a helping hand through volunteering, mentoring or supporting local causes.

  • We take pride in providing local people in the communities surrounding our project the opportunity to explore roles within the construction industry. We offer apprenticeships, internships and work experience to enhance local skills, help address an industry wide labour supply issue and inspire the next generation of industry professionals.

  • Where possible, we appoint local trades and service providers on our projects. We also work hard to increase social value awareness within our supply chain, encouraging our partners to understand and contribute to the positive impact we aim to deliver. We host events such as 'Meet the Buyer' sessions, supply chain breakfasts and lunch and learn workshops.
