We recently announced record funding for councils of voluntary service, recognising that their network business plan specifically offers to enhance the connection between the third sector and local authorities which should further improve the contribution which the sector makes to the design and delivery of services. We are supporting the development of public social partnerships and the creation of compacts between the sector and local authorities, both which will build on the partnership approach.

Overall, we believe the third sector has a substantial contribution to make to the growth of the economy, not least through the innovative way it designs and delivers services.
