Established in 1920, The Barrow Cadbury Trust aims to close the gaps in current policy and practice by supporting work in local communities and acting as a bridge to national and international policymakers.” www.bctrust.org.uk

	“As part of the Cabinet Office, the Office of the Third Sector (OTS) leads work across government to support an environment for a thriving third sector (voluntary and community groups, social enterprises, charities, cooperatives and mutuals), enabling the sector to campaign for change, deliver public services, promote social enterprise and strengthen communities. The OTS was formed in May 2006 in recognition of the increasingly important role the third sector plays in both society and the economy.” www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/third_sector.aspx
