Results and Impact A talk on the experience of social accounting in leisure trusts and sharing the techniques and learning with other voluntary sector organisations.

After the talk Kate Mukungu, CEO of Tyneside Women's Health asked me if I would work with her to develop social accounting with their organisation. A meeting was arranged and over the next six months we developed a project that could work for an undergraduate to develop further as part of their dissertation. During academic year 2012-13 a fourth year Business Accounting and Finance student worked with Tyneside Women's Health and developed the database needed to support their social accounts. The first set of social accounts were produced during 2013.
The development of social accounts with TWH has been developed further through their own outcomes and improvement project.
