‘Neighbourhood Army’ plans from the Tories
Posted by Ricky on Monday Apr 19, 2010 Under GeneralThe Conservative proposals are part of a wider package of measures in the Big Society manifesto and would see organisers giving advice to local people on how to set up their own neighbourhood activity groups. The plans also include the creation of a “big society bank” to fund third sector organisations and to support social enterprises operating in some of the UK’s most deprived towns.
David Cameron stated that the Tories would improve education and early years provision for deprived families in order to make opportunities more equal for all. He would also reform the Sure Start programme by introducing financial incentives for schools to attract poorer students and by transferring management of children’s centres to the voluntary sector.
The Big Society paper also contains plans to promote volunteering and to celebrate the work of community groups with an annual bank holiday day.
