Delivering the Big Society requires people to have the right skills to deliver public services and build strong communities. A national skills strategy for the voluntary sector represents the foresight needed to bring about a professional and thriving workforce. 

Your views on a National Skills Strategy for the Voluntary Sector are needed as the government has pledged support to voluntary sector organisations in delivering the Big Society, particularly in providing more public services and building strong communities. To rise to these challenges charities, social enterprises and other voluntary sector organisations need people with the right skills in the right numbers to make a difference.
