City Year UK
Peer review of a report on the economic value of full-time volunteer services in the UK, through Pro Bono Economics.
The report focused on the potential annual net economic benefits of a full-time volunteer service for young people. Based on a series of assumptions concerning the operating costs of a 10,000 volunteer scheme and the benefits to the volunteer and organisations they are placed with, annual total net benefits were estimated at between £28 and £119 million to the UK economy (i.e. a cost benefit ratio of 1.2 to 1.6).
Local secondary schools
Lunchtime lectures to sixth form economics students. Stephen spoke about regulation at City of London school.
A talk at Haberdashers Boys school economics society was written up on the school website
