Start your Christmas celebrations early… The Gannow Christmas Cracker brought to you by Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS) is back again for 2023!

Over the last few years, Gannow Community Centre in Burnley has hosted one of the best early Christmas celebration events for families in Burnley with hundreds joining in the festivities Join in this year on Saturday, 25th November 2023 from 12 noon to 3 p.m. and spread some early festive cheer.

On 14th December 2023, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS) is officially opening the brand-new Volunteering for Wellbeing & Community Hub at Gannow Community Centre.

Doors open at 10 a.m. for people to drop in and discover the world of volunteering. With a wide range of voluntary organisations in attendance, you’ll be able to discuss what their voluntary roles require and how to go about getting started giving something back to your local community.

Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, a brand-new volunteer hub launched this summer. The Volunteering for Wellbeing and Community Hub is the latest volunteering project from the volunteering experts, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS).

BPRCVS is continuing its investment in volunteer coordination for both individuals, and local Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) groups and organisations. The appointment of dedicated volunteer coordinators will provide tailored volunteer coordination and open up exciting new opportunities and experiences for people looking to get involved in their community.

We’re celebrating all things BPRCVS and have put a focus on how we’ve grown and developed over the last 5 years. The growth in the numbers of VCFSE groups and organisations being supported is significant. The growth in individuals across the communities of Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale is substantial.

This year will see the appointment of a new chairperson to oversee BPRCVS as Susan Biggs stands down from her role. Alongside the usual chair’s speeches at the AGM, this year Susan will also be talking as a guest speaker about the value and impact of BPRCVS upon local communities especially during her tenure.

Join us for guest speakers, networking opportunities, and to meet some of the BPRCVS team behind our projects and services. See the impact BPRCVS has had upon Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale’s communities. For example, we’ve distributed more than £2.5m to local VCFSE groups and organisations in the last 5 years, and we’ve seen an almost 300% increase in the number of groups we’re supporting annually. Come and check out the impact for yourself and speak to the people involved.

We will provide lunch along with refreshments. A full itinerary will be released forthwith.
We look forward to seeing you there.
