Throughout the #COVID19 pandemic we have been working with @LincolnshireCF to map the places in Greater #Lincolnshire with the most needs to support strategic grant making & funding. This is all based on data and engagement. The graphic below shows the places with the most needs

As you can see needs have changed a lot as a result of #COVID19, and this can be seen in the locations of most needs pre-Covid, currently, and in the future. As a result of this work we are now able to see where we all need to prioritise support and aim funding

The dataset we used was a bespoke one designed and built for us by @NPCthinks and which we constantly update so it remains relevant and accurate. It is an amazing and useful set of information which allows us to look at needs at a hyper local level

Looking at this data allowed us to build the Lincolnshire COVID-19 Community Strategy which looked at information from community engagement, the new dataset, and other relevant information to best understand local issues as a result of the pandemic

We have since been able to undertake a number of deep dives into local areas to look at data and needs at a micro level, alongside examining the local social economy, and identifying gaps and opportunities for investment and support. We call these #PlaceAudits

This work is going to allow us and @LincolnshireCF to work with local communities to target funding and support where it is most needed to improve lives for people and communities where it is most needed. If you want to find out more then drop us a DM
