The people and organisations involved in the Big Local

The Local Trust

Big Local Trust was established by the Big Lottery Fund with a National Lottery grant.
Local Trust’s mission is to enable residents to make their communities and their areas even better places in which to live. They do this by helping them develop and use their skills and confidence to identify what matters most to them, and to take action to change things for the better, now and in the future.
The Big Local project is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and managed by Local Trust. Nationally they work with a range of partners to deliver Big Local,  providing expert advice and support for residents so that communities will be better able to identify local needs and take action in response to them.
