The first social impact report into the work of Leeds Rhinos Foundation has revealed that for every £1 invested into the charity, £10.49 of social value is generated.

Social value refers to the positive impact that a charity’s activities has on society and the community, and considers factors such as wellbeing, quality of life and environmental sustainability.

According to the report produced by Substance, the headline valuation for Leeds Rhinos Foundation, which celebrates 20 years as a charity in 2025, equates to just over £14.78million and is formed by individual values across the 60 programmes and initiatives that it delivers. So for example health and wellbeing equates to £507,300 and education £574,450.

Bob Bowman QPM, Chief Executive of Leeds Rhinos Foundation, said: “For 20 years we have known that Leeds Rhinos Foundation provides opportunities across a vast range of services to positively impact the lives of who we support. Especially those who are vulnerable, less fortunate and often overlooked.

“Working with Substance to analyse our work, and socially valuing our impact, now provides us with the evidence to showcase what we know. I am confident that this will help us deliver additional vital services going forward, allowing even more people to be better versions of themselves.”
