• Responds to local needs
• Builds on local strengths
Each local area will follow a staged process in order to do this
Local solutions to local problems – all parts of the community engaged
BIG LOCAL
• A total of £30,000 for each local area
• GPI Round 1 administered by Big Lottery Fund, Round 2 administered by CDF
• GPI Round 2 will feed into initial stages of Big Local.
• Areas can apply for round 2 once round 1 funding is spent and signed off by BIG
• Big Local representatives will be allocated to local areas to support involving local people, community visioning and creating a local partnership
• Round 2 will be a rolling programme with no closing date
