Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many Big Society community organisers living in Barnsley East constituency have been trained to date.

Since 2010, Community Organisers have worked in over 400 neighbourhoods across England. Of the 551 Senior Community Organisers recruited and trained through the Community Organisers programme to date, 63 have worked in Yorkshire and the Humber. Organisers do not necessarily work where they live.
