After announcing it last year, the government have launched a 12 week consultation with a public call for evidence to inform the new civil society strategy.
The strategy aims to improve how government and public bodies interact with the VCSE sector. The consultation is split into four sections:
- Our civil society: is about the big questions of what civil society is, how it is working well and what needs to change to strengthen it further
- People: explores how more people could take action on issues that matter to them
- Partnership: explores the best ways to work across different sectors to make a better society
- Places: explores how we empower local people to improve the places they live and work
The consultation closes at 9am on 22 May.
