We Are Big Local

With Big Local coming to an end next year, we’re hosting an exhibition and evening event on Friday 27 March to mark the achievements of all 150 areas, and to celebrate the volunteers who have made Big Local what it is.

Bookings are now closed – but we may be able to accommodate you depending on the waitlist, please contact support@localtrust.org.uk

What to expect?

The event opens at 4pm with tea and cake, giving you time to immerse yourself in the ‘Nothing about us without us’ Big Local exhibition.

We will then move into a drink’s reception and sit–down evening meal. This is a chance to have fun, celebrate with each other, and reflect on over a decade of community-led change.  You can expect dessert stalls, Big Local speakers, games, music and lots to keep you entertained. Think community festival but indoors! Please note that we will also have quieter spaces, for those keener for a chilled out event experience.

• To ensure all areas have an opportunity to attend, we are capping attendance at three people per Big Local area. 
• We ask that the three places are prioritised for people who have been / are Big Local partnership members, but if places are not filled by partnership members they can be extended to others who have been active in the Big Local area.

• If more than three people from your area are interested, we’ll be asking volunteers to organise among themselves who is best placed to attend. 

• We will be covering travel, accommodation and caring costs, which we hope will support you to join us on the day.

If you have any further questions, you can check our FAQs page or email us on support@localtrust.org.uk 

We hope to see you there!
