This discussion paper, written by the Department of Communities and Local Government, sets out proposals to improve their engagement with the third sector.

It takes account of the joint Office of the Third Sector and HM Treasury review;

• The Local Community Sector Taskforce, which was established by Government to consider the implications of the end of the Single Regeneration Budget and decline in European funding of the sector
• Making assets work – the Quirk Review of community management and ownership of assets and
• Advice from a sounding group of key stakeholders and individuals, which met during early 2007 to help inform the shape of the strategy.
