Unfortunately, due to limited funding in Pendle East (Colne, Barnoldswick and Earby), Burnley and Rossendale we have no alternative but to pause acceptance of referrals for these areas with immediate effect.
We have seen an increasing number of referrals coming into the programme and are working hard to secure more funding to enable this vital service to continue across these areas and hope we can resume business as usual from 1st April 2025.
In the meantime, our teams will continue to provide the planned activities during the summer break and during the half term break in October. Activities will then pause until Easter 2025.
Children and young people who are still on our system as requiring activities will be paused until April 2025.
Our Team will be in touch with everyone who is currently on our system including those on our waiting list.
Thank you for your patience and understanding and please keep your fingers crossed for our success in securing more funding.
Should you wish to send us a testimonial to help us in funding applications, please send them to tracey.noon@bprcvs.co.uk
Children & Young People's Social Prescribing
A brand new pilot project of Social Prescribing for children and young people has been launched in the Pendle West Primary Care Network area. GPs within this PCN are now able to refer children and young people into Social Prescribing for health and wellbeing support.
Great news! Pendle West (Nelson and Brierfield) PCN has funded one Children and Young People's Worker since April and are so pleased with the service and support given to young people that they are now going to fund a second worker.
For more information on how this pilot project works and what children and young people, and their families, can expect from the service, click the button below.
