Big Local is a Big Lottery investment which covers 150 local areas in England. Mottingham Estate is a ‘wave 1’ Big Local area and is beneficiary of one of the £1 million investments to be used for the benefit of the community over 10 years.

Mottingham Big Local Refocused aims to ‘bring together all the local talent, ambitions, skills and energy from individuals, groups and organisations who want to make their area an even better place to live’.

The Partnership Board is made up of local residents who have voting rights, and people from organisations who work in the area. These include Clarion Futures and Community Links Bromley, which is also the Local Trusted Organisation (LTO) for Mottingham Big Local Refocused, responsible for budget, staff and 'community facilitation.'

The Partnership oversees the development and delivery of all aspects of the Big Local Plan, monitoring progress and promoting Big Local and its activities to the local community and wider stakeholders.

Projects including Mottingham Silks, Accessible Dance, Art Therapy and Wellbeing, StEP Community Projects and Training and Mentoring are underway.
