Community Right to Challenge

Advice and information

If you are interested in using the Community Right to Challenge we would encourage you to discuss your ideas with colleagues in the voluntary sector first. The council works closely with Ealing and Hounslow Community and Voluntary Service, and is exploring ideas with them.  

The government has set up a support service for groups who may be interested in using the Community Right to Challenge but who are unsure of what they need to do, or want advice. More information on this is available at communityrights.communities.gov.uk
