    I think the label is the problem. Different people interpret the label differently, particularly the vast majority who didn't bother to read the details.

    Big Society is not just about volunteering, and it is absolutely not about volunteers replacing paid workers. That is a devious misrepresentation deliberately spread by the Left-leaning media.

    There are three shining examples of Big Society happening here in Dover: the TSS Dover initiative, the Dover War Memorial Project and the People's Port. These are examples of citizens banding together to initiate or take over enterprises that the State either doesn't run for the benefit of the community or doesn't want to do at all, and to operate them on a not-for-profit basis for the benefit of the town and its heritage.

    If the WHPS were to organise itself more entrepreneurially it could also be an example.
