Working with local people to improve the community.
What is Big Local Gateshead?
We are one of 150 Big Locals founded in 2012 all over the UK to help residents make a difference to the area they live in. Big Local Gateshead operates in Teams and the racecourse estate in Bensham, and our governing body is made up of people who live or work in that area. We run a community space on Derwentwater Road, an allotment on Bensham Bank, and activities all across the area.
Volunteer to make a difference!
All of the projects that improve our community are made possible by everyday people giving up their time to do amazing things. Right now we're looking for people who can spare a few hours a week to help out with the shop collections, Teams Tots, Teams Wheelers, and plant swap.
Funding Available
We support all sorts of projects, and can offer funding to suit almost anything you want to see happening in the area, big or small!
