I may be being cynical myself, but that 'new finance' will probably
come in the form of 'low-cost' loans........ <br>

I, like many was a tad cynical about the whole 'Big Society' thingummy
- especially it was said to have died a death on the canvassers'
doorsteps. I didnt expect to see hide nor hair of it thereafter...but
low and behold - here we have a 'vision paper' on that very subject
from No 10 which includes this phrase - <br>
<br>
'The government will use funds from dormant bank accounts to set up a
‘Big Society Bank’, which will ‘provide new finance for neighbourhood
groups, charities, social enterprises and other non-governmental
bodies’.<br>
<br>
A new source of revenue for community media - and Big Society [cough -
sorry it still sticks in my throat] surely needs a place to talk? <br>
<br>
Of course we'll be scrabbling for that pot along with all and sundry
but hey...<br>
