Local Living operates Alnwick Markets. We want to make Alnwick Market Place a vibrant community space that results in social and economic benefits to the town and traders.

Local Living is about innovating, encouraging enterprise and facilitating local money flows to bring jobs and economic opportunities to North Northumberland. Local Living is a company limited by guarantee which operates as a business and aims to make a profit. However, as Local Living is a social enterprise, any profit made will not be distributed to shareholders (there aren't any) but will be reinvested in the company to bring about more jobs and economic opportunites.   

Local Living is about bringing benefits to all the residents of North Northumberland by the development of local work and the local economy

At present activities include:

• Revitalising the markets in Alnwick Market Place in partnership with Alnwick Community Development Trust

• Collaborating with LEADER+ projects in Dorset, Penistone, South Rosscommon in Ireland and Transylvania in Romania to promote local, fairtrade and organic food, drink, arts & crafts in the Berwick & Alnwick Districts.

There are currently five directors on the board: Philip Angier (chair), Ian Brown, Paddy Conway, Andrea Perrett and Kathryn Potts.

Membership of Local Living is open to anyone with a passion for North Northumberland who supports the purpose and principles of the organisation.
