Hidden Asset Report Launched
Hidden Asset 2009
The aim of Hidden Asset 2009 was to identify the immense contribution made by the third sector in multiple communities across the South East.
The report highlights the economic and social contribution of over 600 voluntary and community organisations in the South East. This research has proved a crucial asset in re-enforcing the innate and often underestimated role played by voluntary and community organisations within the South East.
