38. Interfaces are the new local infrastructure for the third sector. The main goal of the new infrastructure is to align the third sector with the Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) and the Single Outcome Agreements. By March 2011 each local authority area will have a third sector interface. They will vary in legal form but will all fulfil four functions:

• Support to voluntary organisations operating in the area, both local and those national organisations that deliver services at the local level;
• Support and promotion of volunteering;
• Support and development of social enterprise
• Connection between the Community Planning Partnership and the third sector.
