The Office of the Third Sector newsletter provides your update on third sector related policy developments.
This issue contains news of the final report of the third sector review, the result of the largest-ever consultation with the third sector which sets out plans to work with the sector over the next 10 years, as well as information on the new Minister for the Third Sector and details of a £70m fund to transform youth volunteering.
This issue contains news of the implementation of delivery plans for social enterprise and public service delivery, as well as the timetable for implementing the Charities Act. We also report on the second year of the Volunteering For All programme, announcements in the Budget and new measures to promote charitable giving.
There's plenty to talk about in this issue, with the launches of two action plans and the implementation of the Charities Act high on our news agenda. Ed Miliband, Minister for the Third Sector also outlines his vision, following six months in post, and we also have initial views from our new Director General, Campbell Robb, about what he wants the OTS to achieve.
