About the Community Practitioners’ Network

Local Trust have funded Big Local Workers and volunteers access to Community Organisers’ Community Practitioners’ Network. This is a network is made up of community practitioners from across the UK working in a range of careers in the community.

It offers you the chance to:

  • access expert guest lectures and webinars
  • take part in a range of topical conversations
  • expand your network of personal and professional contacts

All in a way that fits in with your individual working patterns and needs.

We encourage workers to sign up to this network, or volunteers from areas without a worker. It’s an opportunity to build networks with people outside of Big Local, making it particularly useful for partnerships coming to the end of the programme.

You will need to sign up before your area closes out from the Big Local programme. A worker or a volunteer from your area can then access membership to this network for 12 months.
