Planning period 1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029
Impact Plan 2026–2029
Our published measurement commitments for the first three years, prepared under the Procurement Act's social value expectations.
Summary
What this plan commits us to
Crescent Covenant CIC is newly established, so this document sets out method and intent rather than results. It states the indicators we will report against, the standards we will value outcomes under, the assurance we will apply before publication, and the limitations we already know our method carries. Results will follow the delivery they describe: an interim report at six months, then a full annual impact report with a methodology appendix.

By practice
How the practices are organised
| Practice | Who it serves | Focus | What we provide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formation & governance | Communities, charities and CICs | Structure and board capability | Incorporation, articles, asset lock and post-incorporation governance clinics for every new client |
| Impact & social value | Delivery organisations and corporate partners | Evidence and valuation | HACT and TOMs-aligned outcome frameworks specified before delivery begins, not retrofitted after it |
| Compliance & recovery | Organisations facing filing or regulatory risk | Process and assurance | Evidence reconstruction and a maintainable compliance calendar the organisation runs itself |
2026–2029
Forward priorities
Priority 01
Publish before we claim
Method, indicators and limitations are published ahead of delivery so no figure can be retrofitted to a favourable narrative.
Priority 02
Reach full independent assurance
Every published social value figure reviewed by someone outside the engagement before it leaves the organisation.
Priority 03
Release frameworks openly
Formation, governance and measurement frameworks published as free resources so organisations can act without engaging us.
Priority 04
Build compliance early-warning
A low-cost CIC34 and CIC36 filing health-check aimed at preventing regulator enforcement before it starts.

Questions about our method
We publish method, indicators and limitations before results. If something does not hold up for you, ask us and we will show the working.
