The steering group of GMSVN is made up of activists who want to ensure that all intervention; whether that be through the behaviour of business, the devolution agenda, commissioning and procurement, or the delivery of projects and services, brings maximum social value. We are lucky to have a mix of people from different sectors with different skills and experiences.
