Building the Big Society: views from the voluntary sector

What do you think the challenges and opportunities are for the voluntary sector in relation to the Big Society? Do post your comments below, we are keen to hear your thoughts. Over the past couple of months, we have been speaking to leaders from a variety of voluntary organisations to get their thoughts on the new agenda: what it's all about, how it can provide opportunities and what challenges the sector will face in an era of austerity.
The following people kindly offered us their opinions:

- Sarah Elie, Executive Director at Somers Town Community Association
- Julia Carette, Chief Officer at Worthing CVS
- Susanne Rauprich, Chief Executive at NCVYS
- Penny Nicholls, Director of Children and Young People at the Children's Society
