Lancashire Combined County Authority (LCCA) is a key delivery geography for IN4 Group, bringing together fifteen local authorities across Lancashire, Blackpool and Blackburn with Darwen. The region includes some of England’s most deprived communities, particularly within Blackpool, Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Pendle, Hyndburn and Preston, alongside more affluent rural districts. This diversity makes Lancashire a priority region for targeted investment in digital skills, employment, AI innovation and inclusive economic growth. IMD analysis helps demonstrate that IN4 Group’s programmes are reaching communities experiencing the greatest barriers to opportunity and supporting place-based social value outcomes.
