Big Society Network

The Big Society Network is an initiative from the UK that promotes community empowerment and social responsibility. Launched in the early 2010s, it encourages local groups and individuals to take an active role in improving their communities. The idea is to shift some powers from the government to the people, enabling citizens to shape their own lives and address local issues collaboratively. It emphasizes volunteering, community action, and grassroots involvement as key components for creating a more engaged and resilient society. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a sense of shared responsibility and improve public services through local input and innovation.
