SNG hosts first Supplier Social Value Awards
We were delighted to bring together partners, suppliers and community organisations for the inaugural Stronger Together: SNG Supplier Social Value Awards 2026.
The event was a celebration of collaboration, shared purpose and the collective commitment to delivering meaningful social value in the communities where SNG manages homes. It was inspiring to see so many organisations come together, united by a common goal: to make a positive difference.
Events like this remind us that social value is not just something we deliver, it’s something we build together. We can’t wait to see how our partners continue to innovate, collaborate and create even greater impact ahead of next year’s awards.
Andrew Cooper, SNG’s Head of Funding and Social Value, commented: “We were delighted to celebrate the impact of our suppliers and community groups through these awards, an effort that lies at the heart of our vision to deliver thriving communities over generations. By working together, we can achieve so much for communities and customers.”
Congratulations to all of our winners and those highly commended!
