Dorset's hidden poverty revealed
Perception is that Dorset is an affluent and well-off county, but a new report reveals that poverty is a big problem and the impact is often hidden.
A report by The Dorset Community Foundation has found 76,000 Dorset residents are paid less than the living wage, and that 18,000 children live in low-income families.
It also says that houses in many areas of the county are simply unaffordable.
Jon Yates, Chief Executive of The Dorset Community Foundation spoke to Steve Harris.
