December ’20 edition of the Local Area Coordination Network Newsletter.
Nick Sinclair, Director of the Local Area Coordination Network, reflects on a recent webinar for the Local Government Association.
Nick recently had the pleasure of collaborating with a contingent of people from Swansea, giving an online presentation on how Local Area Coordination there had responded during Covid times, as well as our collective vision for its future across Wales.
In this blog, Nick Sinclair and David Robinson explore the concept of a ‘social covenant’ discussed in Danny Kruger’s recent report, ‘Levelling Up Our Communities’, arguing it must be formed around values, trust, morality and relationships.
The Local Area Coordination Network and The Relationships Project have teamed up to surface, share, and celebrate stories of lockdown from all across the country. Together, we can inspire a conversation about how we can build back better, stronger, and more connected.

July ’20 edition of the Local Area Coordination Network Newsletter.
Nick Sinclair, Director of the Local Area Coordination Network, chats to Nick Plumb, Policy Officer at Locality, and Jill Greenfield, Director of Communities at Kirklees Council, about the Keep it Local Network and Local Area Coordination.
‘Alongside’ is a collection of 20 stories from last year about people who have changed their lives with the support of Local Area Coordinators from their local communities.
As the Coronavirus crisis unfolded, it became clear that Local Area Coordination as we knew it was going to look very different. We knew we had an opportunity to learn and started to document information, producing a timeline we can now share with you.
The councils who make up the Local Area Coordination Network have co-produced a new report entitled ‘Which Way Next?’. The report is based on the testimony of many people involved, and outlines how the approach has adapted to meet new challenges.
