Overview
The Community Right to Bid helps community groups buy important local buildings when they go up for sale. You can nominate assets like pubs, shops, libraries or football grounds as community assets. When these buildings are sold, your community group gets the chance to bid for them. This keeps valued local buildings in community use. The scheme is run by Liverpool City Council. There is no set funding amount as this is about the right to bid, not direct grants. You can apply at any time as there are no fixed deadlines.
Requirements to check
