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.

​'The SEND Plan 2021-2025 ends in 2025. However, this does not indicate the end of the work that continues to be delivered across the SEND agenda. Education, Health, and Care are working together with children, young people and their parent carers to improve outcomes for children and young people.  The SEND Partnership Strategic Plan 2025-2028 is the next stage of the journey of continuous improvement and will reflect all the work including, improvement development, delivery, and monitoring.

As the colder months settle in, it’s more important than ever to support our communities in staying warm, healthy, and well-informed. The Keep Well in Winter campaign, led by Burnley Together and supported by key partners like BPRCVS, is designed to provide essential winter health and wellbeing advice, ensuring that vulnerable residents have access to the right information and resources.

​
This campaign is a fantastic opportunity for local organisations, charities, and service providers to work together, amplify key messages, and ensure that vital support reaches those who need it most. By pooling our resources and sharing information across different networks, we can extend our reach and maximise the impact of this campaign.

​Lancashire Volunteer Partnership (LVP) was established in 2016 between public services who wanted to provide one gateway into public service volunteering.
