In November the Government announced a 'Big Society Strategy for charities, voluntary groups, and social enterprises'. Released was a strategy for building a stronger civil society, a consultation on the strategy, and a letter updating the sector post spending review.

We asked you to respond and many of you did and thank you for your input.

SEYH has drawn together a response to the Cabinet Office from those responses.

The response, strategy and consultation can be downloaded below by clicking on the images.
