Big Society

The Big Society is a political idea introduced in the UK around 2010, aiming to empower communities and encourage individuals to take an active role in their local areas. It promotes the idea that citizens, rather than the government, should lead initiatives to solve social issues. This includes volunteering, community organizing, and local decision-making to enhance civic engagement and social responsibility. The goal is to create a more connected society where communities work together to improve their lives, thus reducing the reliance on state services.
