The Big Society - Voluntary Sector Resources - National and Regional
‘The Big Society’ is the overarching ‘idea’ that encompasses the Coalition Government's policies to move power from the state to society; and from the centre to local communities, and to give people the opportunity to take more control over their lives.
EVA's pages on The Big Society aim to provide useful links and information on the Coalition Government's plans for the future of voluntary and community action.
