Welcome to the Ambition Lawrence Weston '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 Lawrence Weston 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 Lawrence Weston with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.
Local people are at the heart of the new project, which will support community-led climate action, putting them in the driving seat and empowering them to respond to climate change in their communities. The funding from the National Lottery's Climate Action Fund will enable six organisations across Bristol " Ambition Lawrence Weston, ACH, Bristol Disability Equality Forum, Heart of BS13, Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust, and Eastside Community Trust (formerly Up Our Street) " to play a leading role in shaping Bristol's transition to a low carbon and climate resilient city. This project will be supported by three lead programme partners " Bristol Green Capital Partnership, who led the funding bid; Centre for Sustainable Energy; and Bristol City Council.
