Big Society

The Conservatives believe in helping people to come together to improve their own lives. The Big Society is about putting more power in people's hands - a massive transfer of power from Whitehall to local communities. We want to see community empowerment, the opening up public services, and people encouraged and enabled to play a more active part in society.

Nick, working with fellow Enfield MP David Burrowes, hosted the first of a series of Enfield 'Big Society Days ' in the Atlee Room at the House of Commons. The reception brought together some of the volunteer groups from across the borough to discuss the thinking behind the coalition governments Big Society. You can read more here.

A list of the voluntary groups currently helping across Enfield and making a contribution to the ' Big Society'  is shown below (please send us your website address if you would like us to link to you or if you would like to be on this page).
