Cabinet asks civic orgs how to do more for less

Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, and Minister for Civil Society, Nick Hurd, have today written an open letter to the voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors asking them to contribute their ideas to help reduce the deficit. They are being asked to share ideas about how they can help reduce the deficit directly with the Office for Civil Society.

Tackling the deficit and restoring confidence in the economy is a high priority. Significant savings have been made across all areas of Government, but the deficit reduction plan is not just about cuts. It is also about finding better ways of doing things.

Voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations are today being asked to share their innovative ideas of how things can be done more efficiently. Those in the sector have a wealth of experience from delivering services on the frontline, often in the most disadvantaged areas, and can see what is working well and what can be improved.

Ideas and examples from the sector can be posted on the Cabinet Office website or e-mailed directly to sectorchallenge@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk .
