Unlocking the potential of Big Local partnerships: The role and impact of Locally Trusted Organisations

A locally trusted organisation (LTO) is the organisation chosen by a Big Local partnership to administer and account for funding, and/or deliver activities or services on behalf of a partnership. LTOs are a key part of the Big Local programme. This report explores the extent to which the LTO model supports resident-led decision making and control, what LTOs need to enable this to happen, and what other groups and organisations supporting resident-led change can learn from this work.
