Case studies

This case study highlights the work that Coventry City Council has undertaken using LG Inform Plus.

The LGA and Age UK are working collaboratively to determine how the LG Inform software applications and data services (offered by the LGA to local authorities) could be used to benefit a not for profit (NFP) organisation.

Lewisham focussed on gathering intelligence about vaccination concerns through a survey sent to residents in January, to help it tailor its messaging and communications.

The London Borough of Lewisham has developed a new local assembly model. It broke new ground in deciding on the model itself. A mayor's commission enabled all political parties to buy in to the new model.

Responding to the global climate emergency at a local level is a challenge faced by all local authorities.

Lewisham Council supports Allsorts, alternative day provision for adults with learning difficulties, which has a focus on high-quality creative and arts activities.

Co-production and collaboration with stakeholders and communities is one key element that contributes to the success of interventions and programmes.

Lewes District Council have recently committed to developing a district wide food security strategy, in conjunction with their Lewes District Food Partnership and Emergency Food Network.

Recognising that online applications and attitudes to claiming financial support were low amongst older residents, the Council ran a multi-channel campaign to invite them to a drop-in benefits session at the council offices and assist them in claiming vital cost of living support.

There has been a growing interest in ‘civic crowdfunding’ for local authorities. This project sought to work through the options available to councils to raise additional funds for climate work whilst engaging with and involving the community, and potentially increasing community wealth. Through a series of workshops, issues and barriers were investigated in order to produce a tool to aid decision making and prepare the council for delivering alternative finance mechanisms.
