Revoelution is ‘resident-led’. It’s run by a Partnership, open to anyone who lives, works or volunteers in the Revoelution area.

Meetings are once a month and last around two hours. Anyone can attend, but only resident members can vote. Minutes of meetings are available on our Documents page. Partnership members can do as much or as little as they like – our Chair, Angie Buss, regularly attends meetings at the Hub and is in contact with several local agencies but other members due to work commitments can only attend the monthly meetings. Our maximum number of Partnership members is 12; there are currently seven members so there are places available if you’re interested!

Our Staff

The day-to-day work of the project is carried out by our full-time Project Coordinator and freelance engagement workers (currently three) who are based at the Revoelution Hub. This includes planning and delivering consultations and activities, maintaining good communications with residents (including our newsletters), liaising with our partner organisations and administrative work such as financial reporting.

Revoelution is a community development project – we want the work to be continued by local people beyond the end of the Big Local funding. One of the aims of Revoelution, therefore, is to make the project less reliant upon the staff team so we’re particularly keen to hear from residents who can contribute some extra volunteering time beyond the meetings.

Our Plans

The Big Local funding is already assigned to Revoe – we don’t need to apply for it – but we do have to tell the Local Trust what we want to spend it on. The Partnership therefore have to put in a Plan for each round of funding outlining what we’ll be paying for to address each of the priorities. See the Documents page for past Plans. The current Plan is our last; Big Local funding ends in September 2025.
