Creating a positive Big Society

Nick Beddow, chief executive of community development organisation CDX, and Anna Coote, head of social policy at new economics foundation (nef) examined the challenges and opportunities of creating a Big Society that is positive and beneficial for all at a joint Groundwork/CLES policy workshop in central Birmingham.
