M-PACT stands for Moving Parents and Children Together and is a programme that puts children and young people at its heart. The programme supports those aged 7 to 17, and their adult family members. It is a structured 10-session intervention, drawing upon psychosocial, educational, and systemic approaches to improve global functioning, communication and coping in families affected by addiction.


The programme is delivered by two trained M-PACT practitioners (plus additional facilitators) to up to 8 families at a time, with sessions once a week, for 8 weeks. Families attending the programme also have an individual review session. On completion of the programme, an informal reunion brings everyone together to take part in a fun activity.


The program is part of INSPIRE and With You's Lancashire substance misuse service commission. M-PACT practitioners to attend Duty and Assessment/Family Safeguarding/Child and Family Wellbeing/Early Help team briefs to explain the criteria and referral pathway into the programme, in order to raise awareness of this excellent provision, generate referrals and answer any questions teams may have.

​The Great Get Together (20-22 June 2025) is the UK’s annual celebration of everything that unites our communities, inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that we have more in common than that which divides us.


We hope you’re considering organising a Great Get Together this June, because community events that bring people together feel more needed than ever.

Burnley Working Wild has seen 6 programmes of Lancashire Wildlife Trust's innovative and transformational “Wildworks” programme of nature-based employability course throughout the town.

The courses give participants an introduction to volunteering and working in the environmental sector. All participants involved gain practical skills, and also receive targeted support in applying and interviewing for training and employment if they wish to join the green sector. You don't have to be looking for work though, the sessions also provide an environment to improve wellbeing and resilience through contact with nature. Accredited training is also offered as part of the sessional delivery.

​Join us for our final session at The CVS Centre!
