Big society is 'effectively dead', Sir Stephen Bubb tells PM: In letter to David Cameron, the head of the chief executives body Acevo writes that the government's vision for the sector has lost its way

Sir Stephen Bubb, head of the chief executives body Acevo, has warned the Prime Minister, David Cameron, that the big society is "effectively dead".

In a letter to Cameron, Bubb says that while the government can take credit for "some major achievements" since 2010, including the establishment of the social lender Big Society Capital, and reforms to inheritance tax relief and Gift Aid, "elsewhere progress has been slowed or has stalled".
