This report summarises the results of a two year study to assess the social and economic value of voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector infrastructure support organisations. The research, commissioned by South West Forum, was conducted between 2011 and 2013 and carried out by the University of Bristol in partnership with Voscur, a generic infrastructure organisation covering the city of Bristol. A blended methodology was used to capture both social and economic impact. It was built on the structured self-assessment approach of NCVO’s Value of Infrastructure Programme (VIP) and the proxy indicator approach of NEF’s Social Return on Investment (SROI) methodology. This provided information regarding Voscur’s role in developing, co-ordinating, representing and promoting voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) frontline groups (henceforth, ‘frontline groups/organisations’)
