Welcome to the Ramsey '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 Ramsey 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 Ramsey with other Big Local areas and highlight what works in communities with a wider audience of practitioners and policy makers.

TIMELINE
-
Ramsey Healthy Activities and Food
Once again Ramsey Neighbourhood Trust has been commissioned to deliver Healthy Activities and Food during the long summer holiday and also at Christmas and Easter for children who are in receipt of free school meals. This scheme which was developed by Ramsey Million Partnership is now an established and well trusted holiday scheme provider and the funds from the county council will help sustain the programme beyond Big Local funding. -
Ramsey Million Partnership and the Young People’s Counselling Service
The relationship between Ramsey Million Partnership and the Young People’s Counselling Service continues to grow and develop. RMP invested in mental health support for young people in the town several years ago, and this proved a useful lifeline during the pandemic. Ramsey Million Partnership members were invited to the official opening of the Annabel Davis Centre, the new base for YPCS in the north of Huntingdonshire. Both Warwick Davis and his daughter Annabel are patrons of the mental health charity. Partnership member, Roger Brereton was pleased to go along in his new role as Mayor of Ramsey and has named YPCS as one of his charities for the next two years. -
Ramsey Million and the Town Council: conversations about working together
Over the last couple of years, a very effective working relationship has developed between the Big Local partnership and the Town Council. In this film, Steve Corney, the mayor of Ramsey Town Council, and Gill Rayment and Roger Brereton from Big Local, talk about the benefits to the town of working well together. Steve describes the relationship and Gill and Roger, who are now themselves members of the Town Council, talk about what they are bringing to their councilor roles from experience of Big Local.
