Low Hill Wolverhampton Pride in Place
“There must be a tangible change. The streets would be less littered and young people would have facilities to use instead of causing a nuisance.”
Pride in Place is a UK wide community-led programme which empowers local people to shape the future of their neighbourhoods. It's built on the principle that those who live and work in an area know what's best!
Over the next 10 years, with £20 million from the government, the Low Hill community will have the funds and support to:
lead a long-term programme of transformation
decide how they wish to invest in services, activity and infrastructure
build a stronger community living in a thriving place
take control of the future of Low Hill

The government's investment will be over £20 million as interest earned on the funding is also added to the spend.
In the Big Local programme, an additional 20% was added to the pot due to accumulated interest.
There is also the scope to create a charitable organisation that can attract in further funding. The Scotlands Bushbury Big Local levered in about five times the original investment amount.
