Power and Belonging  for Big Local areas

Local Trust's mission is to enable residents to make their own communities and their areas better places in which to live.Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund-funded programme which committed £1m each to 150 neighbourhoods across England. The £217m originally provided by The National Lottery Community Fund to support this programme is the largest single-purpose Lottery-funded endowment ever made, and the biggest ever investment by a non-state funder in place-based, resident-led change.In terms of scale, time horizon and ethos, nothing like Big Local has ever existed. Designed from the outset to be radically different from other funding programmes, at the heart of Big Local is a vision of empowered, resilient, dynamic, asset-rich communities making their own decisions on what is best for their area. In 2019, half way into delivering Big Local, we reported on what we have learned so far.

Please note - this training is two parts and this is the second session. We strongly enocourage people to attend both. Please sign up for session one,<a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/190917508407" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> here. </a>This second workshop will provide people with the understanding and practices to build spaces where everyone, regardless of background, feels they belong and are empowered to thrive. We’ll invite active discussion around how power dynamics play out and how you can shift those dynamics in your work.In this session you’ll●	Discover practical ways of unpacking daily issues of inclusion in our work and tools for deciding what needs to change. ●	Practice using frameworks such as shared containers, deep listening, and 1-2-4-all to build spaces where all voices are truly heard - which in turn can be used in Big Local settings.●	Understand the importance of shifting power dynamics and how to do that in different contextsA small number of people who attend these sessions will get the chance to have 1-1 and pair coaching sessions with Collaborative Future to explore in more detail your specific challenges with centring equity and belonging in your work on Big Local. People will be invited to participate once the first workshop has taken place. The sessions for Big Local areas will run in parallel with sessions for reps on the same topics.
