Big Local Chairs Network

As Chairs, you have regularly emphasised the value of learning from each other, so please save the dates for the upcoming Big Local Chairs Network meetings planned for the coming months! 

The chairs network is an opportunity for all chairs involved in Big Local to connect, learn, and support each other in a group environment. Whether you’re a seasoned chair or new to the role, this network is designed to provide peer support and elevate your leadership journey. 

Programme of activity 2024-25 

Over the next year, we’ll host regular facilitated sessions, each lasting 75 minutes. Each session will focus on two key elements: networking and reflection, with opportunities to explore topics and tools relevant to your role as a chair. Session topics will be announced in due course.
