We have a new creative health programme taking place at Burnley Library this November and December and invite you to refer anyone who may benefit.


Vinyl Revival is a free, friendly, and relaxed series of music sessions for people living with young onset dementia and those who support them. Led by Marco from Lancashire Music Service, the sessions will use live music, movement, and shared memories to create enjoyable social experiences and opportunities for creative expression. The programme aims to support wellbeing, social connection, and confidence through shared musical experiences.

Looking to improve your wellbeing, learn something new, or connect with others in your community?
Community Roots has a fantastic range of free activities and support sessions taking place throughout October across Burnley, Pendle, Accrington, Ilkley and Blackburn. 

Prepare for a night of spine-tingling elegance and supernatural fun at the iconic Fence Gate. After a two-year wait, the Positive Action in the Community (PAC) Charity Ball returns for 2026. This is more than just a party; it is the most anticipated date in our calendar and a vital night of fundraising for the East Lancashire community. 

Whether you choose to embrace the theme with full Fancy Dress or prefer to "Dress to Impress" in your finest evening wear, this is your chance to celebrate the season in style while making a tangible difference to local lives.
