“Greenmoor Big Local’s vision is to give residents greater control, skills and confidence to create change so that they and those supporting them can make a difference in the community and have greater involvement and control over the things that matter most to them.”
So what we have done to achieve this so far
- The Greenmoor Community Partnership Board, the Task Groups,
and the Project Steering Committee, meet regularly and is able to decide the purpose, direction and
development of the overall programme.

the area. The initial Board of 15 people
was set up with a clear terms of reference. As of June 2015, there is an
increasing number of people prepared to step forward and take part and be
trained in the roles of the board. In the last 4 months 4/5 new people have
joined the committee. Skill level and confidence of board is growing.
- Community Profile, Community plan created, printed and
distributed with consultation and review having taken place in 2014 and 2015.

further drawing in local people and stakeholders have been set up. The task
groups are beginning to show greater appreciation of the issues of the area and
deciding on strategies to resolve them.

board’s support group, to work in the area.
