\n \n

Big Lo cal was one of the most ambitious community-led fu nding programmes in England\, investing over £200 million across 150 neighbourhoods over 10–15 years . But what made it different from traditional fund ing programmes\, and what can funders learn from i t today?

\n \n

In the first of our Local Trust Lear ning Programme series\, this introductory 90-minut e session explores the origins and principles behi nd Big Local\, how residents identified and priori tised local needs\, and what communities chose to invest in when given long-term flexible funding an d decision-making power.

\n \n

Through practical ex amples\, discussion and a resident voice panel con tribution\, we will explore themes including resid ent-led versus data-led priorities\, local economi es\, pride in place\, community infrastructure and the role of trust and flexibility in funding.

\n \n

The session will also provide space for funders to reflect on which Big Local principles could rea listically be adapted within their own programmes\ , including by smaller and lower-capacity funders.
