- Re-Union Canal Boats Ltd - Re-union undertook an SROI as part of its application to the Scottish Investment Fund. The organisation has since developed an outcomes-based monitoring system on the basis of its SIF forecast, and has led to improvements in the monitoring arrangements, particularly with volunteers. Re-Union's involvement in SROI has led to SROI being taken to the Waterways Trust and British Waterways, and has enhanced re-Union's relationship and partnerships with both organisations.
- Cunninghame Housing Association - Currently applying initial SROI work and understanding to a major community development, in order to learn more about tenant participation and community engagement.
