Big Local Support

If your Big Local area needs support with business planning, project management, asset transfer, environment and climate projects then get in touch with Julian 0777 929 3501 to talk things through.

Big Local is an innovative programme run by Local Trust and funded by the Lottery’s Community Fund. Since 2011, 150 ‘left behind’ communities in England have been granted over £1m to use, as they choose, over a 10-15 year period. Each area forms its own partnership controlled by local residents and receives support from a Big Local Rep.
