Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance has teamed up with cancer charity Ovacome to bring its eye-catching van to town centres, community events and supermarkets across the region, from Wednesday 17 September to Saturday 18 October.
 
Staffed by trained health ambassadors and volunteers, the van will offer interactive symptom checkers, on-site talks and Q&A sessions, as well as signposting to local support groups and healthcare providers.

Burnley Leisure & Culture is recruiting 30 Culture Makers – a brand-new team, who will help shape and deliver Burnley’s Year of Culture in 2027. We are going on a journey of discovery to see how culture happens or what it looks like in other places. We will connect Culture Makers to artists to commission and explore new cultural work to take place on their doorstep in 2026.
