Economic Impact Assessment of Earls Court Meanwhile Activities


Client: Earls Court Development Company

SQW was commissioned by the Earls Court Development Company (ECDC) to assess the economic impact of its programme of 'Meanwhile Use' activities.  Each year ECDC supports a range of activities that primarily support social capital development in the local area through a Community Fund; creating new community facilities; and leveraging its assets and foregoing rental income to provide residential and commercial accommodation. SQW assessed each activity in terms of the income, employment and GVA created, alongside RealWorth who assessed Social Value outcomes, and produced annual reports in 2022 and 2023. The 2023 report was launched at an ECDC event in May 2024 can be downloaded here.
