‘When it was launched in 2010, the Conservative government’s Big Society promised to give communities more powers, support charities and social enterprises, and encourage volunteerism. Within the year, however, the government was accused of using the policy to ‘dignify its cuts agenda’. At this roundtable discussion, Tom Gaskin from The Missing Kind, Hannah Rich from Theos Think Tank and Belfast peace activist Sandra Rutherford will discuss the difference that people can make in improving their own communities.’
