LCR Data Community of Practice - Can data help in Community Wealth Building?

A deeper dive into local economic data

Within our local communities are a myriad of locally rooted organisations and institutions that each play a role in underpinning the economic and social activity of the community. Working in concert, these institutions have the potential to energise local areas by helping to retain wealth and opportunity within those areas for the benefit of local people.

A challenge that these actors face is that there is a complex and imperfect information environment where even influential organisations may not realise the network effects and connections that exist, which — identified and supported — could help our communities become more resilient and sustainable.

Can data help in revealing this hidden picture?

Following on from the last meeting we will be diving deeper into the work of Local Loop Merseyside and mapping of monetary flows within local economies.

Important information: This event will take place online via Zoom. We will send out a link to join the session on the morning of the event and 30 minutes before the start time.

Who is the LCR Data Community of Practice?

We are a group of people from across the region's data ecosystem that work in or are interested in working with data. We have quarterly in-person meet-ups around lunchtime with online events in between. Our events are informal, welcoming and free.

For any questions about this event, please contact Julian Tait at julian@lcrdcp.org

This event is organised by Open Data Manchester CIC in partnership with the Civic Data Cooperative at the University of Liverpool.
