Roseworth Big Local is funded through the Big Local Initiative, an exciting grant programme pioneering resident-led, place-based funding. It has provided an opportunity for Roseworth residents to voice how they feel about the estate and what they would like to see in the future.
The Big Lottery Fund identified 150 areas that had historically ‘missed out’ on funding. Each of those areas was allocated £1m to spend in any way they chose, providing local residents organised themselves and involved the wider community.
Big Local is funded for a decade, allowing the community to take their time, make decisions and deliver change.
