Civil Exchange has launched the last of its three reports “auditing” the Big Society initiative. It concludes that the Big Society has created a more divided society, and that people feel they have less influence over what happens in their communities than they did before.
It’s not all bad though, as some positive aspects have been identified, for instance the resilience and resourcefulness of the voluntary sector.
Third Sector has published an online article giving an overview of the report and its recommendations: Big Society has failed, concludes Civil Exchange
