We are a design and delivery organisation exploring ‘local opportunities’ and creating solutions for ‘local problems’. We focus on projects, which first and foremost, empower communities to improve their immediate local world. We deliver at a local level, but through our work aim to deliver programmes that can be scaled to benefit all communities, everywhere……this is why we’re called Start with Local.
Our Local Lab is where we develop ideas and turn them into reality. We mix together all the right ingredients – the people (experts and the community), partners, technologies and methodologies.
We employ start-up type processes to help develop and take projects to market at speed, in an effective way, unencumbered by the legacy of a large established organisation. This is particularly refreshing for local authorities, NGOs and charities.
So often, purpose-led organisations simply don’t have the breadth of skills to accelerate solutions which need to utilise a multitude of disciplines. Let us help you accelerate your progress.
Six years in the making, we’re proud to finally step away from our largest project to date – Trees for Streets – the National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme. This initiative now supports residents and councils across the UK, planting thousands of new street trees.
This project brings together collaboration, technology, product development, community engagement, fundraising, branding, marketing and tree planting in a sustainable model.
If you’re part of an organisation that would like to do its bit solving one of society’s big issues……and do it locally, then do get in touch, we’d love to have a chat. Hello@startwithlocal.org.uk
