What is Big Local?
July 2015
Big Local is an exciting opportunity for residents in 150 areas in England - to spend £1million or more each on making a massive difference to their communities.
Big Local, which was launched in 2010, is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and managed by Local Trust, a unique organisation whose aim is to support resident- and community-led solutions for creating lasting change throughout England.
We bring together local talent, ambitions, skills and energy in the shape of people, groups and organisations who want to make their area an even better place to live. And we work with a range of partners to provide expert advice and support, so that those areas can put their plans into action.
You can find out more about the 150 Big Local areas in the Get involved section of our website.
