Welcome to the Whitley Bay '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 Whitley Bay 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 Whitley Bay with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers
Friday mornings and lunchtime have always been a special time at the WBBL building. Our Knitters and Natterers get together, and while the crafting goes on lunch is prepared. Many volunteers have pitched in to make this "stone soup" community lunch happen. Often someone will bring in pudding from home! There's a real family feel about Fridays..... and there's always plenty of soup for anyone and everyone!
