Explore what each of the 150 Big Local areas did with their funding to strengthen social infrastructure. 

As Big Local areas were hyper local, their names do not always reflect their geographic location. Use the region filters to find Big Local areas near you. Each area summary provides more detail on geographic location, including a map. You can also filter areas by the themes their activities focused on most.
