The idea is get people engaged and thinking about what they can do to improve the area in which they live or work. At the start of the programme it is important to get some people involved and to find people that are interested in changing things and making a difference, even if the ideas are small to start with. And this is just one small element of the project...you can find out more here: www.frattonbiglocal.org.uk
