The current debate around the Big Society is diverse, with discussion on the meaning and implications, both positive and negative. One element that has been lacking has been the relationship between Big Society, Social Justice and Equality. This free event will provide an opportunity to explore and discuss some of those issues surrounding the Big Society and the widening gap between rich and poor, and why Big Society must be underpinned by Social justice.

Key discussion areas will include:

• The relationship between equality, social justice and the Big Society.
• Potential benefits of Big Society for marginalised groups.
• Big Society’s relevance to local communities and equality groups.
• The Equality Regulatory Framework and Big Society.
• Community organising or organising communities?
• Future actions on lobbying and filling gaps.
