 Lancashire County Council has created an online directory: the Lancashire Service Finder. This is to help residents and professionals across the county easily find and access services to support their needs.
Ahead of its public launch this summer, the Lancashire Service Finder needs to be populated with as many listings [HA1] as possible. If your service has not already registered on the Lancashire Service Finder, we encourage you to do so. It is free to register and will make the directory as helpful as possible to those who access it.  It's less than 4 weeks now untill it's DanceSyndrome's Annual Community Showcase: EXPRESS 26 on Thursday, 11th June at 7:30pm at Blackburn Empire Theatre and we would be absolutely delighted if you were able to join us.

Certain Curtain Theatre Company presents the film of their award winning play, The Knot. Winner of a BBC Alfred Bradley Special Award for verse drama, this fast moving drama fuses with black humour to present a powerful story of one family’s refusal to confront the knot of secrecy that is slowly choking it to death…leading to the explosive confrontation that will finally unravel The Knot. Every family has its secrets. The Maddock family has more than most. Soon – there will be no secrets… Soon – there will no family.  Thank you to all who attended our last east Lancashire signposting clinic. We have provided a round up of the information provided, but if we have missed anything please do make use of the Teams chat to continue to share the amazing work you are doing!
