What is The Big Society?

The Big Society was the flagship policy idea of the 2010 UK Conservative Party general election proposal. It presently forms part of the legislative programme of the Conservative – Liberal Democrat Coalition contract. The plan is to produce a climate that empowers local citizens and communities, building a big society that will seize authority away from politicians and award it to people. The declared main concerns are to give communities more authority and encourage citizens to take an active role in their communities (voluntary work)
It is supported by a Big Society Network, which says it exists to produce, develop and showcase innovative ideas to facilitate citizens to come as one in their neighborhoods to do good things.
