We were asked to look at needs in Britain by The Commission on Unclaimed Assets and give a rough assessment of the most pressing unmet needs of 60 million people, urban and rural, marginalised and empowered, rich and poor.
Our aim is not to be comprehensive or definitive but to illuminate key issues and challenges.
This project was completed quickly and with very limited resources but we are also using it to suggest how Britain might undertake a more regular and systematic needs mapping exercise in the future to guide the work of government, foundations and others.
