William Morris Big Local

William Morris Big Local We are a lottery funded project led by the people for the people to improve the William Morris area

William Morris Big Local aims to bring together the local talent, ambition, skills and energy from individuals, groups and organisations around us to make the William Morris area an even better place to live. Our Big Local plan focuses on three key areas as identified by local people during consultation and planning and led by a Partnership of local people. The three key areas are:

- Strengthenin

g the Community
- Improving Outdoor Spaces
- Supporting the local economy

William Morris delivers projects across these priority areas through grant schemes, commissions, partnering with organisations and in house through staff and volunteers.
