What is North Brixton Big Local

By the Community, For the Community

North Brixton Big Local is a unique opportunity for residents to create lasting, positive change in our community. We’re part of a national initiative supported by the Local Trust, with funding from the Big Lottery Fund, designed to help 150 areas across England. The funding gives local people the power to identify and address the needs that matter most.

Our goal is simple: to bring together local talent, ambitions, skills, and energy to make North Brixton an even better place to live. This is about residents taking the lead to shape the future of our area.

What is the Big Local Plan?

The Big Local Plan is our roadmap to creating a stronger, more connected North Brixton. It outlines the priorities we focus on to ensure that the community benefits from meaningful projects that improve wellbeing, create new opportunities, and build a brighter future for everyone.

Having a clear plan allows us to set priorities, deliver projects effectively, and stay on track. It also enables us to access the funding allocated to our area by The National Lottery Community Fund, ensuring we make the most of the resources available to benefit the community.

What it’s about:

  • Empowering the community to make a difference on the issues that matter most to us.
  • Creating a place where people feel proud to live.
  • Building a stronger community that’s better equipped to identify and act on local needs.
  • Helping people gain the skills and confidence to continue making a positive impact for years to come.

What it’s not about:

  • It’s not about the local authority, government, or national organisations dictating how we use the funding.
  • It’s not about individual groups pushing their own agendas without involving the wider community.
  • It’s not about quick fixes – we’re planning for the long-term to create the best outcomes for North Brixton.
"Going to south end was the best part of my summer holiday! I havnt been to the sea in AGEAS and it was such a hoy say that I felt so good to cool down in the water. The trip was right before we went back to school, so it was great to take these memories into the classroom with me as start studying again. Thank you!"

"Joining the Create Your Space project was amazing! I never thought I'd get the chance to learn woodworking skills. Now I’ve got a handmade bench in my garden that I’m so proud of. I loved working alongside my neighbours, and we had such a laugh together. Thank you for making this happen!"

"Mudchute farm was so much fun! Seeing all the animals and nature. The pigs were my favourite. Loved spending the day with old friends and meeting new people."

"Cooking Together was such a great experience! I got to try new recipes and even shared a few family favourites. It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked with a big group, and I loved every minute of it. My kids can’t believe I can now make homemade bread!"

"The Take a Seat project has given me real confidence in my creative skills. Scorpio is a great tutor (once you get used to his sense of humour) and I’ve made so many new friends! My family love our new dining chairs, and I tell guests how I made them at the community trust. I think were making pillows next. I’m going to make one for the granddaughter for Christmas."

"Going to the Community Job Fair gave me the confidence I needed to start applying for local jobs. The support and advice were just what I needed, and I even landed my first interview within a week! It’s helped me feel more connected to the area and hopeful about the future."

"I loved the Art in the Park day! My kids had a blast, and I even got to try my hand at painting for the first time in years. The community feels closer, and it was such a refreshing break. We’re all looking forward to the next one!"
