The Little BIG Foundation is proud to introduce the 2026 Leadership Committee for the Little BIG House, a group of dedicated local volunteers working together to deepen and strengthen a truly community-led model.
This group is embarking on 12 months steering the Summer Hill Little BIG House, collaborating behind the scenes, shaping how the Little BIG House continues to evolve as a place of connection, belonging and shared ownership. They play a vital role as the bridge between the Little BIG House team and the wider community, ensures that the voices, ideas and lived experiences of locals remain at the heart of everything we do.
We have been lucky enough to have had two diverse and passionate groups pave the way for this committee before them and we can't thank the 2025 committee enough for their work to date.
