This website exists to share our work – and to encourage you to get involved – after all, it’s your area.

Big Local does have funding each year that can be made available for projects that benefit the local community of North Cleethorpes. Whether you are a voluntary group, charity, social business or even an individual, then we work with you to decide how best to allocate funding.
Your project will need to have a clear benefit to the North Cleethorpes area, will need to have evidence of a need, will ideally be able to draw in additional funding or volunteer time, and you will need to be able to present this to the Big Local committee.
Read more about the actual application process here. Take a look at the log of our investment decisions to see what we’ve already invested in. Look back through all our projects to see how we’ve already invested. Perhaps come along to our weekly meeting to meet us and discuss your ideas. Ultimately, get in touch.
If you’ve got a project that benefits the area and you think is ready for consideration by the Big Local North Cleethorpes Partnership then read more about the application process here.
