Learn about the hypothesis that underpins our research and evaluation
Big Local is new, different and exciting; it builds on previous community-based regeneration programmes and puts power and control in the hands of those who live in the areas. We believe that Big Local has the potential to support residents to increase their skills and confidence, and ultimately, making a lasting difference in the communities where they live. Our ambition is not simply to deliver a programme and learn from how it’s going, but to shape and influence policy and practice through shared learning from the Big Local programme.
