  • Briefing Paper the Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August
    AWICS Independence…..Integrity.….Value Adrian Waite (In dependent Consultancy Services) Limited Briefing Paper The Big Society: News from the Frontline in Eden August 2010 Introduction The government’s ‘Big Society’ project was launched by David Cameron in Liverpool on 19th July 2010. As part of this, four areas have been identified as Vanguard Communities where it is intended to ‘turn government completely on its head’. These areas are Eden, Liverpool, Sutton and Windsor & Maidenhead. David Cameron said: “My great passion is building the Big Society. Anyone who’s had even a passing interest in what I’ve been saying for years will know that. “The ‘Big Society’ is…something different and bold… It’s about saying if we want real change for the long-term, we need people to come together and work together – because we’re all in this together. “(We want) Neighbourhoods who are in charge of their own destiny, who feel if they club together and get involved they can shape the world around them. “If you’ve got an idea to make life better, if you want to improve your local area, don’t just think about it – tell us what you want to do and we will try and give you the tools to make this happen.” David Cameron outlined what are to be the three major strands of Big Society which include: “First, social action. The success of the Big Society will depend on the daily decisions of millions of people – on them giving their time, effort, even money, to causes around them. So government cannot remain neutral on that – it must foster and support a new culture of voluntarism, philanthropy, social action.
