It is the work that Prosper do at a regional level that I am most impressed with.
Their ability to gather representatives from right across the private, public and social economic sectors in a room to talk about their shared challenges is remarkable.
Their talent for creating events of all shapes and sizes that allow us as members to network with our peers is invaluable.

The third sector plays a key role in the economic wellbeing of Scotland. Prosper recognises the joint effort of all sectors in building inclusive growth and the benefits this can bring to a vibrant, thriving society.
Prosper offers a supportive local forum which actively encourages collaboration and provides a voice for the Northeast around key policy issues and developments.
As a Prosper committee member I am able to build connections and learn from other members from across the northeast region, to share sector insights and keep up to date with developments and opportunities that inform the work of Aberdeen Foyer in our mission to end youth homelessness and alleviate the impact of poverty.
