The Commission for the Compact has recently published new implementation guidance on commissioning.

The Government has pledged £42.5 million to help volunteers, charities and social enterprises deliver extra real help to those that need it most, during the global economic downturn.

Guidance is currently being drafted by the Learning and Skills Council on how the Compact can be used to promote and protect the independence of the third sectorⁱ.

The government has launched plans for building fair chances for everyone to succeed in the new economy.  The New Opportunities White Paper sets out the Government’s agenda for capturing the jobs of the future and investing in families, communities and citizens throughout their lives to help them get on and ahead.
