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
So many of our makers have enjoyed getting together, sharing stories, meeting new people and making connections that will last beyond Covid-19. Many have said they have felt a purpose and enjoyed doing something useful, sharing their skills. Some have rediscovered their love of sewing and knitting.
