Need to know Local Trust’s funding criteria before kicking off a new project?
Interested in learning about projects set up by other Big Local areas?
We’ve developed a new, go-to area of the Local Trust website – the Big Local support centre – designed to help you find the support, guidance and inspiration your partnership need to deliver lasting change in your community.
The support centre has been designed collaboratively with Big Local partnerships, to save you time navigating the Local Trust website so you can find the support and guidance you need more easily.
It follows on from the launch of Make it Happen earlier this year – our new and improved package of support that ensures you can access what you need to deliver your Big Local plan.
Now, we’ve created a dedicated online space for your partnerships to find the offers, information and guidance you’re looking for more quickly.
We’ve tested the help centre with partnership members, reps, workers and LTOs and made changes based on your feedback, to help make sure it works for everyone.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in developing and testing the Big Local support centre – we hope you’re pleased with the results! Look out for the feedback options to tell us your thoughts, or email us on support@localtrust.org.uk
