Hosting a challenge

Participating in the LG Challenge gives your council an opportunity to contribute to sector-led improvement and reap the benefits reported by previous hosts: fresh ideas and perspectives; boosting confidence; staff development; showcasing your council and working with local stakeholders.


LG Challenge contestants in conversation

 

Over the course of six months, contestants are tasked with five real-life challenges which sit at the heart of community life, and to offer innovative solutions to complex social problems that councils currently face across the country.

Taking part in challenges across various local authorities across England and Wales, we are looking for councils to host the challenges. Hosting a challenge provides councils with an invaluable opportunity to raise the profile of their council, all whilst calling on a diverse set of council officers to tackle a real-life challenge in their local authority.

Aiming to give contestants exposure to a broad set of issues, we work with five different councils every year to support the hosting of a challenge.
