The future role of the third sector in social and economic regeneration
The third sector is defined as non-governmental organisations that are value driven and reinvest their surpluses to further social, environmental, or cultural objectives. They include voluntary and community organisations; social enterprises; and cooperatives and mutuals. The four major areas of common interest between the sector and Government are: enabling greater voice and campaigning; strengthening communities; transforming public services; and encouraging social enterprise. These areas form the basis of the Government's proposed framework for partnership over the next ten years.
The Third Sector Delivering Public Services
This important book is the first edited collection to provide an up to date and comprehensive overview of the third sector’s role in public service delivery. Exploring areas such as social enterprise, capacity building, volunteering and social value, the authors provide a platform for academic and policy debates on the topic. Drawing on research carried out at the ESRC funded Third Sector Research Centre, the book charts the historical development of the state-third sector relationship, and reviews the major debates and controversies accompanying recent shifts in that relationship. It is a valuable resource for social science academics and postgraduate students as well as policymakers and practitioners in the public and third sectors in fields such as criminal justice, health, housing and social care.

Working with the Third Sector
The term 'third sector' describes a range of voluntary and community sector organisations including small local community groups, registered charities, foundations, trusts and co-operatives. Although public service delivery has often been seen as a choice between direct state provision and the use of the private sector, third sector organisations offer an alternative. This NAO report examines how government departments and other funders can best work with the third sector to achieve value for money in public services. The report draws a number of conclusions and recommendations for government to help to promote new ways of working with the sector and to embed new practices across their funding streams, both at a strategic level and an operational level. These include the need to identify beacon funders at all levels of government, to act as centres of expertise and help spread good practice; and improved training to enable real partnerships between funding and service suppliers.
The Great Charity Scandal: What Really Happens to the Billions We Give to Good Causes?
There are over 195,289 registered charities in the UK spending about 80 billion of our money a year. Charities claim that almost ninety pence in every pound we give is spent on 'charitable activities'. But with many of our best-known charities, the real figure is less than fifty pence in every pound. But does Britain really need so many charities? And do our charities spend enough of our money on good causes? The Great Charity Scandal exposes the truth about Britain's massive charity industry and recommends how we need to change things so more of our money goes where we expect."
The Green Book
This new edition incorporates revised guidance from H.M Treasury which is designed to promote efficient policy development and resource allocation across government through the use of a thorough, long-term and analytically robust approach to the appraisal and evaluation of public service projects before significant funds are committed. It is the first edition to have been aided by a consultation process in order to ensure the guidance is clearer and more closely tailored to suit the needs of users.
Prevent strategy
The Prevent strategy, launched in 2007 seeks to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism both in the UK and overseas. It is the preventative strand of the government's counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST. Over the past few years Prevent has not been fully effective and it needs to change. This review evaluates work to date and sets out how Prevent will be implemented in the future. Specifically Prevent will aim to: respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat we face from those who promote it; prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support; and work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalization which need to be addressed
