In 2012, an area including the villages of Woolavington and Puriton was chosen by the National Lottery to be one of 150 areas in England to receive a £1 million ‘Big Local’ grant.
Over the next fourteen years, the local community established ‘Villages Together’ – the Big Local Partnership! – and, supported by SHAL Housing Limited, we invested £1,199,500 into making Woolavington and Puriton even better places to live!
The attached Report captures the journey of Villages Together’s Big Local – the dozens of local people who volunteered to research, consult, budget, and plan how the money could be spent on the priorities identified by our residents; the 70+ local groups, projects, and events that were funded, and the hundreds of people who have benefitted over the years!
