Liverpool City Council

This award is open to a single council or where appropriate a partnership of councils, or a council-owned company. Private sector partners can enter on a council’s behalf, with the permission of the council itself. Many councils are seeking to establish a new relationship with local people and local communities. Community involvement and engagement is increasingly important as a way of shaping council thinking, contributing to service design and improvement and to responding to continuing resource pressures. It may also involve direct community involvement in service delivery. This award is intended to showcase the whole range of community involvement.

Culture Liverpool has utilised and supported its creative and cultural sector to regenerate Liverpool’s community, neighbourhoods and creative industry in light of the global pandemic. The project aimed to engage with Liverpool’s residents targeting those communities who have been impacted the most by the pandemic, identified as those living in the most economically and socially deprived neighborhoods in Liverpool.
