Together360

Meet our social value framework

An evolution of our mission

At Services Design Solution, our commitment to making a positive difference goes beyond our projects. Through Together360, we invest in the communities where we work and live, aiming to create meaningful social value and lasting change.

Our framework is grounded upon the four key pillars of our original mission.

  • Community Connection

    Supporting initiatives that create stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods.

  • Planet Positivity

    Acting on the climate crisis by mobilising people, not just designs.

  • Wellbeing & Growth

    Caring for our team, because thriving people build thriving businesses.

  • Empowering the Next Generation

    Inspiring young minds to raise aspirations and improve future career pathways.

Why Together360?

The name Together360 reflects our holistic approach to social value – where every part of what we do is connected. 360 represents that full-circle thinking: a joined-up approach where each pillar works together to create lasting value.

Award-winning in social value delivery
since 2022

We’re proud to be nationally recognised for leading the way, with our work honoured for its lasting impact on people, places, and the environment. Inspired by our award-winning work on the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, our approach reflects a genuine commitment to making real impact.

‘Social value is about making sure people are at the heart of projects. With something so as all-encompassing as the Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, we want organisations and businesses we work with to share our enthusiasm about helping people to connect to the sea – that’s the theory, so it’s great to see what this means in practice – fun, interesting and inspiring.’
– Councillor Tudor Evans OBE
