The new coalition government today provided details of the Big Society programme – which I’ve written about previously here. It was the the first major policy statement issued jointly by David Cameron and Nick Clegg, following a round table event at 10 Downing Street with civil society activists and leaders. Nat Wei, co-founder of Big Society Network – who I interviewed here – will be made a member of the House of Lords and will work alongside the new Minister for Civil Society, Nick Hurd, to lead on the delivery of the programme.
Making sense, joining up, helping out digitally.
