The Big Society

James Ilott from the Office for Civil Society and Lesley Nicholas from the Government Office for the South East attended last week’s RSCP meeting - please find attached Lesley’s presentation on Big Society which outlines the context, the proposals and an approximate timeline for implementing the Big Society.  (pls. note, all graphics and pictures have been removed to reduce size of document).

The presentations provoked a lively discussion about the impact that the Big Society proposals are likely to have on the voluntary and community sector in general, as well as our own individual organisations.   Lesley and James are very keen to keep this dialogue going and to invite feedback from RSCP members.  If you have any comments, thoughts or concerns about the Big Society proposals that you would like to feed back to the Office for Civil Society, please feel free to email James direct at: James.Ilott@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk.
