This document from the Cabinet Office sets out a strategy for voluntary and community groups, charities and social enterprises.

It outlines the scale and nature of the opportunities being made available to civil society organizations as part of the Government’s wider reform agenda, through empowering
communities, opening up public services and promoting social action.

It describes some of the practical measures that the Government is taking to support the sector to realize these opportunities in the immediate future and over the longer term.

There is also a consultation document published alongside this strategy asking for your views on how infrastructure organisations can best be improved to provide help. It is particularly concerned with the development of new skills, partnerships and organisational models so that frontline organisations can seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
