Following the end of Big Local in March 2026, and once most of the resources on Learning from Big Local had been created, two evidence-based guidance documents were created for practitioners working with communities, focused on the unique attributes of the Big Local programme.
This guidance provides principles, and signposts to relevant material on Learning from Big Local, to help practitioners deliver projects where power is shared and residents lead or have a significant role in decision-making. While this guidance is aimed at those involved in setting up large-scale resident-led programmes, practitioners working at a smaller scale may also find the principles and insights useful for their projects.
If you are using a screen reader please use the plain text version of the guidance below.
