This (thanks Cameron and Osbourne!)
National Citizenship Service was a Cameron project that exemplified centralised government approach. Rather than work with existing charities doing the same thing, it’s better to fund and launch something new and shiny instead while reducing funding across the sector and telling charities to shut up/not be critical or political.
Except they've decimated funding to charity volunteer managers who would do the actual coordination, unless you run it through the #iwill youth volunteer programme thats been running through philanthropic support and financially underwritten by charities for the last decade.
