Wickford residents asked for ideas to improve their area

This week the fifth in a series of public meetings will take place for Wickford residents to discuss ways to improve their area. Residents of the Nevenden area of Wickford are being asked for ideas for community projects that focus on improving community spirit, local knowledge and communication, creating more opportunities for young people, or supporting older people.

The aim is to identify a number of initiatives that will inform the ‘neighbourhood agreement’ between local people and organisations about how they can work together to improve the area. [Source: Echo News, 9 March 2015]

Big Local – evaluation of the early years published

by Leave a Comment

In April last year Local Trust brought in the first team of independent evaluators to assess how well things are going across the Big Local programme – to look at areas’ progress, whether Big Local is starting to make a difference, and what kinds of things have helped and hindered areas in their Big Local journeys. At heart the big question was – is Big Local working?

Find out more about the research, undertaken by NCVO in partnership with the Institute for Volunteering Research and the Office for Public Management, and read a summary of their findings here. On the same page you can also download the full report, as well as a shorter summary. [Source:  Local Trust, February 2015]
