Project Dates: 2021-2022

CRESR was commissioned to research how ‘Locally Trusted Organisations’, which hold grants and support resident-led partnerships in the Lottery-funded Big Local scheme, contribute to resident-led decision-making and control. We conducted this research through an evidence review and a series of facilitated workshops and interviews. A report was finalised in summer 2022 and is due to be published by Local Trust.

The project team also included Kate Swade and Kim Graham (Shared Assets).
