I am today publishing a strategy for voluntary and community groups, charities and social enterprises. The document sets out the scale and nature of the opportunities being made available to civil society organisations as part of the Government’s wider reform agenda, and spells out some of the practical measures that the Government are taking to support this vital sector.

I am also today publishing a Cabinet Office consultation document, asking for views on how infrastructure support for frontline civil society organisations can be improved.

I have placed copies of both documents in the Libraries of both Houses. The documents are also available on the Cabinet Office website at: www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk.
