An unmissable conference! Big Society may be the defining idea of the Coalition government. It looks certain to affect the way the voluntary and community sector works, is funded, how it's structured, and the way it delivers services. This is a unique opportunity to find out the very latest news and thinking, and to tell one of the key people in the design of Big Society how you think it will affect the lives of the VCS and of communities in Yorkshire and the Humber.
