Senior Researcher / Quantitative Analyst

About Us

Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund programme which committed £1million each to 150 areas across England. We believe there is a need to put more power, resources, and decision making into the hands of communities. We do this by trusting local people.

The Big Local programme demonstrates the value of long term, unconditional, resident-led funding through supporting local communities make their areas better places to live. We commit our funds at the outset, and then support local residents to develop their own plans to spend the funding in ways that they collectively agree will improve their local area and lives of those living there. We draw on the learning from our work to promote a wider transformation in the way policy makers, funders and others engage with communities and place.
