II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Social action is about people coming together to help improve the life outcomes of local people, by identifying and solving problems or issues that are important to them. Some kinds of social action happen naturally. But the extent to which social action is joined up, effective and thriving may depend on how much encouragement, support and leadership it has in a local area.
