About

Following on from the success of The Historic Boston (UK) Trumps we continued to raise the profile of Boston, Lincolnshire in the UK along with supporting local businesses and charities by creating the Boston (UK) Edition of Monopoly.

Boston Big Local then collaborated with Boston Borough Council’s Empowering Healthy Communities Programme to ensure this project was supported and shared across the Borough, County, Country and ultimately other Boston’s in America, Jamaica and Ireland.

Boston Big Local

Boston Big Local (BBL) is one of 150 areas that have been awarded £1million to make a lasting and positive difference to their local community.

The project is being steered by a local Resident Partnership Group and coordinated through Age UK Lincoln & South Lincolnshire, which is acting as the Local Trusted Organisation (LTO) for the project.

Boston Big Local is a ten year programme, managed by Local Trust aiming to make a big difference to the local area and bring long-lasting change to the lives of those people living and working there.
