A nice gentle blog by Jon Snow here:

///So, as a trustee, a board member, a committee member, a chair, and an occasional functionary, how is my life about to change? Apparently you and I are about to be asked to do more. In the bits and pieces of my ‘voluntary sector life’ I do not run a school, hospital or library, and, oh dear, I have no desire to. I don’t run my local police, probation office, or prison, and, oh dear, I don’t want to.
Worse, like millions of others in the ‘third sector’, I don’t actually have any time to. I intersect with very, very many people in the ‘third sector’, and they don’t have any time or seem to have any interest in taking on any of the above.///
Following on from the discussion had here:

Do you think you're probably already in the "Big Society" which Mr. Cameron is attempting to appropriate? And if you're not, would you want to be? And do you have the time to do so?
All the best,
