The Loyalist Communities Council (LCC) is a political organization in Northern Ireland that represents various loyalist groups. It was formed to provide a unified voice for loyalist communities, advocating for their interests and addressing issues such as social and economic development. The LCC aims to promote peace and stability in the region while maintaining a strong connection to the British identity. The council includes representatives from several loyalist paramilitary groups, such as the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and the Ulster Defence Association (UDA). While the LCC engages in political dialogue, it also emphasizes the importance of community engagement and cultural expression within loyalist areas.
