Our Bigger Story: the Longitudinal Multi Media Evaluation of Big Local
Project Director: Angus McCabe (University of Birmingham)
Project Duration: 2020-2022
Big Local is a long-term resident-led programme established in 2010 which provides resources and support to 150 communities across England. It works with an underpinning ethos expressed in the hypothesis that ‘long term funding and support to build capacity gives residents in ‘hyperlocal’ areas agency to take decisions and to act to create positive and lasting change’. 'Our Bigger Story' is the longitudinal multi-media evaluation that runs alongside Big Local, charting the stories of change in 15 different Big Local areas, covering urban, rural and seaside communities.
