The Big Society Forum
Another uplifting event in June was the Big Society Forum with Nick Hurd, the Minister for Civil Society, that we held in the Devizes Corn Exchange last week. Despite the stress of having the Minister arrive well after the posted kick-off time due to late-running business in the House of Commons (although for once it was nice not to be the person running late) we were able to have an insightful and wide-ranging discussion of the overall idea, the local examples that we see all around us and the actions the government is taking to give local organisations even more support. Nick has promised to give a personal reply to questions from those unable to stay for the whole event so do please send them to me and I will get them on to his desk.
