Liverpool Community Network

Liverpool Community Network's (LCN) mission is to support and promote partnership working between Liverpool's Voluntary, Community and Faith sector and the member organisations of Liverpool First. 

LCN is a 'Network of Networks' with a membership of 1500 voluntary, community and faith groups.  These Networks cover the range of communities of interest, identity and place.

LCN was set up in 2001 to find new ways of involving all sectors of the community in consultations and decision-making.

By working in partnership, LCN is succeeding in:

• Informing communities about issues which matter to them
  
• Influencing public agencies in the design and delivery of better services
  
• Improving quality of life through representation and participation

Liverpool have entered into an agreement with the voluntary and community sector called the Liverpool Compact. This document sets out a number of principle and guidelines as a framework for good relations between the voluntary, community and faith sectors and Liverpool First.

LCN welcomes all VCF groups and organisations and is free to join. Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services (LCVS) services LCN and is a Liverpool First partner in its own right. More information about LCVS is on their website http://www.lcvs.org.uk/
