Nick Hurd starts new job
19th May 2010
Nick Hurd started his new job yesterday at the forefront of the Government’s “Big Society” which will give charities, social enterprises and voluntary organisations a greater role in the provision of community services.
Talking about his new role as Minister for Civil Society, he said:
“The sector is a very important part of our plans to create a stronger sense of society in Britain. I have been shadow minister for 15 months so I am delighted at the chance to put our ideas into action. The government will help unlock the potential for the sector to improve more lives."
He added: "The voluntary sector makes a huge contribution to our community in Hillingdon and Harrow, so I really look forward to the opportunity to do what I can in government to make life easier for people running these amazing organisations."
