Social Return on Investment (SROI) February 2015
Results The evaluation shows that Genesis’ STARS project represents an exceptionally creative and effective response to the needs of a challenging group of drug and alcohol using offenders.
In total, the share of the credit (or “attribution”), due to STARS is 14%, which represents just over £1.4 million of Social Value. For every £1 invested, around £4.80 of value is created: an SROI ratio of 4.8:1.
The outcomes for their clients, as well as for families, partners and the state are significant; in total, the STARS programme leads to the creation of just under £10 million of value.

This £10 million represents the Social Value that is created for clients and other stakeholders that would not have been created if it were not for STARS. STARS programme is necessary, but not in itself sufficient. Clients make progress because they are supported by STARS workers, have access to accommodation (which might be provided by Genesis or by other providers), and also have access to treatment services and the recovery community (such as Narcotics Anonymous). Therefore, STARS cannot on its own claim credit for all of this £10 million.
Support or Advice & Advocacy programmes. However, Social Value is also created for other stakeholders indirectly, such as families, the community, and public services such as the Criminal Justice System. Figure 4 shows the value created for each of these stakeholder groups.
