Planning: 'The Big Society'

For my short documentary I plan to focus on volunteering in the community. I have carried out research into 'The Big Society' to help me clarify my ideas. 'The Big Society' was the flagship policy for the UK Conservative Party 2010 general election manifesto. The aim of 'The Big Society' is to 'create a climate that empowers local communities and building a big society that will take power away from politicians and give it to people'. For my documentary I wish to analyze how this concept is put into action in society and whether or not it has been successful.
