Inclusive resident-led work is at the heart of Big Local, with this session focusing on what it takes for community-led programmes to be genuinely inclusive and representative.
This session explores Big Local approaches to representation, power and inclusive partnership working in community‑led projects, highlighting both the strengths of these approaches and the challenges faced by partnership groups.
It will examine how internal policies and practices helped ensure partnerships were inclusive, as well as how projects promoted wider community inclusion, including engaging those often described as “hard to reach.”
Participants will learn how partnerships supported residents and community groups to participate meaningfully and equitably in local decision‑making, and for funders what mechanisms they can put in place to ensure inclusion in their work.
