THE PRIME MINISTER
J"<-- L : : : > ~ - - . ,
Thank you for your letter of23 J uly.
The National Audit Office has thoroughly investigated the issues you raised and
found no evidence of wrongdoing.
Since May 2010 volunteering is up and giving to charity is up. We have also
sustained overall volunteering at the levels seen during London 2012. We have
seen 100,000 young people graduate from the National Citizen Service, the
world's first social investment bank, more social impact bonds created than in
the rest of the world put together, public service mutuals increased tenfold and
the largest ever community asset transfer inUK history.
This Government's pioneering work to support communities is continuing to
show real returns.
