 Dear Member,
As we stand on the brink of a remarkable milestone, I am filled with gratitude for the journey we have embarked upon together over the past decade. The journey of Gannow Big Local has been nothing short of extraordinary, marked by the unwavering commitment and dedication of individuals like yourself who have selflessly contributed to the betterment of our beloved community. Please find attached the March 2024 Monthly report for social prescribing linkworkers and Community Connectors.
Social Prescribing Day, celebrated annually on 14th March, is a day dedicated to recognizing the incredible impact of social prescribing on individuals' health and well-being. At BPRCVS, we're proud to join in the celebration and shine a light on the invaluable work of our Social Prescribers (SPs) who play a vital role in enhancing the lives of our community members.   Written by one of our Social Prescriber Tabby Shah.
Meet Allison, a vibrant 27-year-old who found herself at a crossroads. Referred into the Social Prescribing Service by her GP, she was grappling with a myriad of challenges: social isolation, depression/anxiety, mental health issues, and financial struggles. As her dedicated Social Prescribing Link Worker, I had the privilege of accompanying Allison on her journey to reclaiming her life.

At Burnley Fire Station, community engagement isn't just a duty; it's a passion. On the evening of Wednesday, 21st February 2024, the Fire Cadets from Burnley Fire Station exemplified this commitment by participating in an arranged evening at the Gannow Community Food Share. This initiative was part of their Citizenship Unit within the Cadet programme, emphasising the importance of giving back and supporting those in need within their community. Check out the BPRCVS Quarterly Report covering April to June 2023 where we bring you updates on all our projects and services. Check out the impact we're having upon our local communities.
We hope you love the new style and format! As the holiday season approaches, we want to keep you informed about our office hours during this festive time.
This fund is about levelling up opportunity and prosperity and overcoming deep-seated geographical inequalities that have held some areas back for too long. It is also, fundamentally, about levelling up people’s pride in the places they love and seeing that reflected back in empowered local leaders and communities, a stronger social fabric and better life chances. This is the vision and ambition for the new £2.6 billion UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF). This money is going straight to local places right across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to invest in three local priorities: communities and place, support for local businesses and people and skills.
