Community Right to Challenge

The Community Right to Challenge lets community groups take over council services in Liverpool. Voluntary agencies, charities, community groups, and groups of council employees can apply. You express interest in running a specific council service instead of the council doing it. There is no set funding amount as this is about service delivery contracts. The deadline is rolling, so you can apply at any time. You need to show you can deliver the service better or differently. This is run by Liverpool City Council. The process starts with expressing your interest in a particular service.

This is for voluntary agencies, charities, and community groups in Liverpool who want to run council services. Groups of two or more council employees can also apply. You need to have the skills and capacity to deliver public services.
