Radstock and Westfield were jointly awarded £1million by the Big Lottery Fund as part of Big Local; a resident led programme which is based on the needs and priorities of the 150 Big Local areas in England. Residents are supported by The Local Trust (who manage Big Local) to drive the Radstock and Westfield Big Local forward. We are using the funds to help organisations deliver new, innovative projects that meet the needs of our community. We aim to draw more money and support in to the area, turning the £1m into much much more.

Our priorities today are...

• Resilience - Our community and community organisations can build strength and plan for the future

• Youth Skills - Young people can shape a youth service that works for them

• Health & Wellbeing - Residents can access services and information that enable them to take charge of their health

• Making It Happen - Delivering our Plan & continuing beyond the lottery funding

Anyone who lives, works or volunteers in Radstock and Westfield is invited to get involved, read here to find out how.

There are a number people on our Partnership team, the majority live in the Radstock and Westfield area. They are responsible for writing the Plan, for spending the money and guiding the overall direction of Big Local in your area. They make sure Big Local connects with and involves many different people from the area. The Partnership is endorsed by Local Trust.
