Creating a happy and engaged community.
Our Mission
Greatfield Big Local is a community project in Hull, UK, dedicated to fostering a sense of community and happiness among Greatfield residents.
Through various initiatives, we aim to engage residents, showcase community projects, promote local events, and provide essential meeting details.
Join us in building a stronger, connected community in Greatfield.
What we've done
In April 2011 £1,000,000 was announced for Greatfield from Big Lottery Funding. Initially the project was launched by Child Dynamix at St Stephen’s, with creation of a community hub, website and social networking page for residents to input their ideas to spend the money. Greatfield was one of the first 50 areas to benefit from the Big Local Trust programme.
​
Since then, many wonderful ideas from residents have resulted in engaging activities to improve the estate, increase wellbeing, reduce isolation and bring prosperity.
​
As well as the projects illustrated on the 'What we've done' page, there have been projects to improve community space for locals - the creation of The Hub, the upgrading of both St Stephen's Neighbourhood Centre and St Hilda's with major maintenance works and revamped toilets - and provision of activities for young people including youth clubs and Guides and Brownies.

A Moth for Amy was an art project celebrating Hull's Amy Johnson. St. Hilda's Church hosted one of the artworks as part of our City of Culture festivities.
As the Locally Trusted Organisation (LTO), Probe (Hull) Ltd gives the Greatfield Big Local partnership support in managing its funds and with staffing, and offers general technical support to the partnership as a whole.
​
Greatfield Big Local has also provided match funding for Probe to deliver a range of services to support local people to access employment, training, and volunteering support.
