From Heston to Hastings! Big Local Connects a BIG success!

By MADE in HESTON WEST

Big Local Connects was the first gathering of all Big Local areas at a single event (29th & 30th June 2018). From Heston to Hastings to Hartlepool, people travelled to share their experiences of Big Local, learn from other areas and get inspired by the huge range of resident-led projects transforming communities across the country.

Heston West Big Local's Youth Film-making team (Anjali Parmar, Haroon Lukka, Layba Nisar, Rhys Jones and Serena Lola) were invited by Local Trust to capture the event using social media, we even interviewed Local Trust's CEO Matt Leach! We would like to thank everyone involved with the event, it was an amazing experience and great to see all Big Local areas come together. Thank you Local Trust for inviting and supporting our young Big Local ambassadors. 

Event highlights was filmed on Saturday 30th June 2018 at Royal Institute of British Architects, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD
