The Lancashire LOCAL Project

Hosted by: The Lancashire Association of CVS

About Us


The LOCAL project is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund & is managed by the Lancashire Association of Councils for Voluntary Service (LACVS).

Building on, and working with, the nine priorities identified through a series of sector wide conversations, events & workshops which co produced the VCFSE Sector Manifesto for Lancashire 14.

The LOCAL project team are working across Lancashire 14 to identify potential collaborations and partnerships, gathering sector intelligence and engaging with funders to positively promote and encourage investment in the area.

A VCFSE Sector Manifesto for Lancashire


Voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise leaders across Lancashire (including Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen) have shaped the VCFSE Sector Manifesto for Lancashire 14. The LOCAL project is now working to drive change across its nine priorities.

The LOCAL Project works across all 14 areas to support collaboration, strengthening local voices, and helping shape a better future for communities across Lancashire.
