Communities and Local Government sponsors and funds the Community Development Foundation (CDF) as a non-departmental public body, to be a leading source of expertise on community development and empowerment. As part of its activities, and working with other national community development organisations, CDF provides research evidence and good practice guidance covering the role of community development workers, their recruitment, retention and management. This work will be enhanced by the results of an England-wide survey of Community Development Work, the report of which CDF is due to publish in March 2010.

Community Development Foundation (CDF) currently employs 64 staff: 55 full-time and nine part-time across offices in England, Scotland and Wales. CDF recently aligned its resources to meet its three strategic aims of Empowered, Cohesive and Strong Communities. As a result they employ a Head of Cohesion, and a policy officer is being recruited to work on cohesion policy. In addition a significant number of other programme-funded staff are also involved in cohesion-related work to varying degrees. Details can be found in CDF's annual report at"www.cdf.org.uk."CDF is receiving up to £1,500,000 grant in aid funding in 2008-09. This represents 40 per cent. of its projected unrestricted income for the year. Subject to parliamentary approval, funding allocated for 2009-10 is £1,545,000, and for 2010-11 is £1,590,000.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I spoke too soon because I am so excited about the fact that, in my constituency, the Mothers’ Union has just celebrated its 85th birthday in St Theodore’s church. It has completed 85 years of championing social change and progress, helping young people to develop alternatives to temptations in the world of drugs and alcohol, offering parenting skills, teaching numeracy and literacy and, now, providing parental support for prisoners in my local prison. Does my right hon. Friend agree that organisations such as the Mothers’ Union are essential to social change and progress in this country?

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We all need diversions from temptation, and it is very important that the Mothers’ Union is providing them. My hon. Friend also makes a serious point about the diversity of the activities in which third-sector organisations engage, helping people in innumerable different ways. We want to find ways of encouraging that. Governments do not create the dynamism that comes from organisations like the Mothers’ Union, but they can help, and that is the point of the small-grants programme that we have announced today.

I think that everyone will praise the contribution made by the voluntary sector in all parts of society in the United Kingdom, but there is an increasing problem in that the population is growing older, and younger and middle-aged people are not volunteering at all. How do the Government propose to surmount that difficulty?

I know that the hon. Lady takes a close interest in voluntary-sector issues, and she is right to say that we need to do what we can to encourage young people to volunteer. That is the point of the arm’s length organisation v, funded but not run by Government, which is creating new volunteering opportunities for young people all over the country. It has created 200,000 so far, and is on the way to creating a million.
As the hon. Lady says, we need to encourage that culture of volunteering among both young people and middle-aged people, among whom I count myself. She will be pleased to learn that v is doing that, and I hope that it will be doing some work in her constituency.

Through its 160,000 charities, 55,000 social enterprises and 20 million volunteers, the third sector makes an enormous contribution to our society. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office, my hon. Friend the Member for Corby (Phil Hope)—who is responsible for the third sector—will announce today that the Community Development Foundation is to run a new £130 million grass-roots grants programme to improve funding for the smallest organisations that are the lifeblood of our local communities, and I hope that it will be welcomed throughout the House.
