Welcome to the Hanwell '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 Hanwell 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 Hanwell with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
This week a mother contacted us to ask if she could buy one for her daughter who is anxious about upcoming surgery. We managed to connect her to Nicky, who had one ready. Of course Nicky didn't want any money! A socially distanced collection was set up and the girl and mum are so happy, with the bear and the extra treat popped in the bag! They came in useful when their car broke down on the way home to keep the girl calm and focused. Little things can mean such a great deal.
