eGov monitor |

eGov monitor |: "t's something that is all too often taken for granted - that thousands of people up and down West Sussex give up their own time to help others.

But now the importance and the staggering financial benefit of volunteering has been highlighted in a major new report.

It says that the time and effort devoted to volunteering by people in West Sussex is equivalent to nearly 35,000 full time workers.

Experts have also calculated that if the volunteers had been paid it would amount to a cash value of a staggering £740 million a year!"
