20 Oct FEL Achieves Excellent Social Value for its Projects with Islington Council

Fashion-Enter Ltd is delighted to confirm that they have had an excellent month of creating genuine outcomes and measures that create social good for the borough of Islington. 

TOMs is the national ‘Themes, Outcomes and Measures’ that guide social enterprises and relates to a framework that was set up in 2019.

Fashion-Enter Ltd (FEL) CEO Jenny commented: “Huge well done to the team at FEL that works as one to create real social outcomes for Islington. We have never been a workspace provider before and working with Islington Council, LEAP and the GLA has taken some time to understand how TOMs works and how we can record the good we do. 

“However, working closely with a strong team at Islington Council has been excellent. We are delighted that we have created social good that has a value of £106, 640.40 for the month of September 2022. 

“When I first started FEL in 2006 I had no idea how you could measure social outcomes – I am not even sure they existed but it’s such a great feeling that we have genuinely helped people in all kinds of sectors and this can be measured to a value. I have never been motivated by money but knowing how much we have supported people and made a difference in their lives makes all the hard work so meaningful. 

“Thank-you to Islington Council for having that support in us. 

“I am mindful of the words of Lord Kelvin…‘When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it.’”
