2.3c What role does civil society play in delivering preventative services and outcomes? How can we measure the savings generated by preventative activity taking place in the sector?

Background

Building on this, DCMS is interested in strengthening the evidence base on the economic and social contributions of civil society, including the inherent social value civil society organisations bring, and their ability to build cohesive, inclusive communities. Many of the invaluable activities and services delivered by the sector are provided free or heavily subsidised at the point of use, and therefore may not have clear market values like goods and services provided in other sectors. This can lead to considerable undervaluation. We are interested in research which helps us better understand, compare, and communicate the holistic value of civil society.
