Urban Challenge
Urban Challenge’s Mission is to enable the development of stable, thriving, communities with the capacity to plan and manage lasting improvements to their quality of life
Our aims are:
- To develop the capacity and skills of socially and economically deprived communities in Lincolnshire, making them better able to identify and meet their own needs and so participate more fully in society
- To engage in social regeneration activities to improve the quality of life for people living within Lincolnshire through:
Capacity building - equipping people with the skills and knowledge to take an active role in regeneration issues and enhance their own personal development
Community economic development - helping individuals and groups regenerate their community through developing sustainable enterprises
To reduce crime and the fear of crime in Lincoln through:
Working to the Lincoln Crime and Disorder Reduction Strategy
Working with partners to initiate, co-ordinate and monitor crime reduction projects
To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the community including the relief of poverty, advancement of education and such other purposes as the trustees shall think fit
Urban Challenge acts as a catalyst, attracting resources for our key areas of work:
Working with local communities to identify and agree solutions to problems of urban deprivation and community safety
Investing in targeted local community regeneration and community safety initiatives
Enabling individuals and groups to acquire the skills and capacity for sustainable development
Co-ordinating the work of partner organisations to maximise the benefits to the community
