BPRCVS: A Legacy of Community Support (1980-1990) Part 5

BPRCVS: A Legacy of Community Support (1970-1980) Part 4

22/4/2025

 
Picture
Introduction: Community at the Crossroads 
The 1970s were a time of upheaval for Britain. Across the nation, economic downturns, strikes, inflation, and energy crises combined to create a climate of deep uncertainty. For Burnley, Pendle, and Rossendale once thriving centres of industry the decade marked a painful transition away from the prosperity of the post-war era. 
​

Against this backdrop of national decline and local hardship, the Burnley, Pendle, and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Service (BPRCVS) emerged not only as a provider of relief but as a catalyst for community cohesion, empowerment, and innovation. 

This article traces the milestones, challenges, and remarkable adaptations that defined BPRCVS in the 1970s.

Eric Wright Charitable Foundation Grants Report 2023 - 2024 'Better than medicine'

10/12/2024

 
Picture
The Eric Wright Charitable Trust Fund opened in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale in March 2018. Due to the success of delivery, the Trustees agreed that BPRCVS should continue to administer the funding and we have just closed the sixth year of successfully funded community projects.
We have seen an increase in the number of groups accessing support and services through BPRCVS.

The environment, rising cost of living, and social isolation still proving challenging. Our local small groups continue to step up, stand solid and support our local communities. Accessing funding opportunities such as the Eric Wright Charitable Trust has enabled them to provide essential activities and community support.

​20 Projects were awarded grants. A variety of activities were applied for, including gardening groups, mental health, wellbeing support and social inclusion.
