Local Solutions

Local Solutions is a charity working across the Liverpool City Region and North Wales, dedicated to supporting people through life’s challenges and helping communities to thrive.

For over 50 years, the organisation has developed services that respond to real needs.

Its work centres around three core priorities: transforming social care, ending homelessness, and empowering communities. From providing safe accommodation for young people to offering respite for unpaid carers, from delivering care at home, to running community projects that reduce isolation and build confidence, Local Solutions aims to make a meaningful difference where it is needed most.

Collaboration is central to its approach, working alongside local authorities, the NHS, grassroots organisations and other partners to co-design and deliver inclusive, joined-up services that reflect the needs of the people who use them.

The organisation embraces innovation, constantly listening, learning and adapting. Whether trialling new models of community support, piloting digital tools to improve access, or developing services shaped by lived experience, Local Solutions focuses on practical approaches that help people move forward.

At its core, Local Solutions believes that strong partnerships and person-centred support are key to lasting change. The charity is proud to contribute to building communities where everyone feels safe, supported and included.
