What they said

Caroline and the Quality Matters team were great to work with, they gave generously of their time and were brilliant facilitators. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.The process of working with Quality Matters on an SROI was both thorough and illuminating we continuously use the information to shape the growth of the company. The SROI has increased grant funding directly by rigorously quantifying the value of what we do.
