In fact, it\u2019s written into the way Big Local is structured because the local committees that oversee and deliver the programme are called \u2018partnership committees\u2019. And each committee &#8211; including the North Cleethorpes one &#8211; is resident led, with over 51% of each committee being residents in the local area.<br>The very first step of setting up Big Local North Cleethorpes was to bring people together to form the partnership committee itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That structure was formalised with a constitution and various policies and guidelines, and is then overseen by Local Trust (through the connection to a Local Trust Rep) who ensure the partnership can be audited; monitored and is held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The partnership committee is then supported by the Locally Trusted Organisation (LTO), which in our case has been VANEL (Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire) throughout the whole programme since 2012 to 2025. A good working partnership relationship between the Big Local committee and the LTO is essential to aid delivery, and this has indeed worked well in the North Cleethorpes area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To deliver Big Local it\u2019s also been essential to form partnerships across the area and between organisations and individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partnerships have included working with local ward councillors; with the local Policing team; with each community sector organisation including schools, churches, community centres, older peoples support groups, social clubs and many more. Big Local has delivered events in partnership with venues or other organisations. The Hangout Youth Group began as a partnership between YMCA, Big Local and local venues and then developed from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partnership with residents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Big Local committee also has to work with the community. Input and feedback from residents is required to ensure Big Local delivers what is needed. Some residents attend meetings to contribute. Some residents volunteer and help with delivery of projects. Residents have been encouraged to participate with and communicate with Big Local North Cleethorpes throughout our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Big Local North Cleethorpes has been about partnerships throughout. Without partnerships much of the work would have been impossible. We\u2019re grateful to everyone who has worked with us during our long journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/biglocalnorthcleethorpes.org.uk\/reflections\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20190417_101004-1980x1114.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Committee at an early partnership meeting at 82 Grimsby Road around 2019.
