A week of activity is planned to celebrate the BIG50 vision for the future of North Northamptonshire.

Taking place from 6 - 10 October, the week will launch with hundreds of young North Northants residents coming together for the area’s first ever Youth Summit.

Attendees will take part in a variety of sessions and workshops, including a discussion on BIG50 and what it means to North Northamptonshire and the people who live within the area.

Other activities across the week include the launch of the new BIG50 website and a call for residents, businesses and stakeholders to pledge their support to the BIG50 vision.

This is a really exciting time in North Northamptonshire and we wanted to celebrate our area, and promote the BIG50 vision - for North Northamptonshire to be a proud, prosperous and proactive place.

The work of the BIG50 has already begun, but this week is about encouraging more residents and businesses to join us on the BIG50 journey and come together to help shape a long-term view of what is most important for the area.

I would encourage everyone to follow BIG50 on social media for updates across the week and details on how to get involved.
Laura-Jane Rawlings, Chair of the BIG50 board
