Roseworth Big Local

• Communities will be better able to identify local needs and act in response to them.
• People will have increased skills and confidence, so that they continue to identify and respond to needs in the future.
• The community will make a difference to the needs it prioritises.
• People will feel that their area is an even better place to live.

Our forum has 8 volunteer members and is currently made up of local people (who live, work, study or volunteer in the Roseworth Ward) and ward councillors. We are guided by our local people; this can include community groups and places of worship, local businesses, local residents’ committees and partnership boards and local schools.

We regularly consult with our local community and funding is spent in line with the Roseworth Big Local Plan, which is built around the needs and voices of local people.

Catalyst’s role is to support the residents and members of the Roseworth Big Local in administering the funding as directed by the Roseworth Big Local Partnership Forum. They also provide management for our community development worker.
