Welcome to the Westfield 'Our Bigger Story' website. This is part of the multi media evaluation of 15 Big Local areas in England. The website is an opportunity to follow what is changing in Westfield as a result of Big Local over a ten year period.
The aim of the website is to share the learning from everything that is happening in Westfield with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
It was great to see our community come together for yet another amazing event. Children and parents followed the bunnies on an Easter Bunny Feet hunt, following the map to the Westfield Big Local stall to collect their Easter Egg. We had various stalls, a tombola, drinks & cakes, face painter, hair braider and even an animal petting zoo. Alice and the Madhatter were dancing with the children and also arranged for the children to stand in line for the Easter Bonnet Competition. There were some really good entrants but sadly we could only choose 3 winners. All in all it was a great day and our volunteers did an amazing job as usual arranging it all x
What an amazing time we had in Westfield, our very own live Nativity and a real Donkey!
Big Local and the community foodbank are preparing food hampers for residents at Christmas.
Westfield Big Local wanted to make sure that children could celebrate Halloween, despite the restrictions. They provided packed lunches, pumpkins and Halloween outfits for the children
Litter is becoming more and more of a problem but hopefully we can send a message that the majority of people on the estate want to see it clean and tidy.
In June 2019 Our Bigger Story hosted a 2 day event for all the case study areas. During this time, each of the OBS areas mapped their journey. Here are a few photos.
The Department of Town and Regional Planning's Community Engagement Initiative was launched in October 2013 and involves staff and students working with residents in Westfield, helping to plan a sustainable future, for their local area.
