 Lancashire County Council has created an online directory: the Lancashire Service Finder. This is to help residents and professionals across the county easily find and access services to support their needs.
Ahead of its public launch this summer, the Lancashire Service Finder needs to be populated with as many listings [HA1] as possible. If your service has not already registered on the Lancashire Service Finder, we encourage you to do so. It is free to register and will make the directory as helpful as possible to those who access it.  It's less than 4 weeks now untill it's DanceSyndrome's Annual Community Showcase: EXPRESS 26 on Thursday, 11th June at 7:30pm at Blackburn Empire Theatre and we would be absolutely delighted if you were able to join us.
 Over the next few months, the SCiP Alliance are hosting over 30 events across the UK to conduct discussion groups on the topic of evidence mobilisation.
These will be an opportunity for anyone working with Armed Forces families in any professional roles (education, health, local authorities, activity centres, youth groups) to discuss what they think works for supporting Service children, how we know this, and how can evidence be mobilised better.  This free conference is designed for practitioners, academics, policy makers, students, and individuals with lived experience who want to deepen their understanding of self-injury and suicide. The event focuses on meaning, context, and compassionate care, bringing together lived experience, applied research, and practical approaches to assessment and intervention.
A week-long celebration of the country’s more than 10,000 village halls will officially launch during a special opening event in rural Lancashire next month. Village Halls Week, which runs between Monday 16 and Sunday 22 March, is an annual event that highlights the enormous positive impact that community buildings have on the lives of people living in rural areas. This year’s week is themed around the topic of health and wellbeing, with the launch of the seven-day spectacle taking place for the first time in the Lancashire village of Parbold on Friday 13 March.

 We are pleased to invite you to attend the KETA-WHAT? Conference, taking place on Wednesday 18th March 2026 at Invisibles Lounge, Blackburn Rovers Football Club (BB2 4JF).
This conference will explore the use of ketamine in Lancashire, its impact on individuals, communities and services, and how we can work together to prevent harm and raise awareness of associated risks. The event brings together professionals, community organisations, educators, health services and people with lived experience to share insight, challenge misconceptions and strengthen local responses.  Warm Welcome is a UK-wide movement creating free, inclusive spaces where anyone can find warmth, connection, and support.
Born during the cost-of-living crisis, it now operates year-round through 5,500+ community venues including libraries, cafés, and faith centres. These spaces offer a lifeline for those facing isolation, financial hardship and tough choices between heating and eating, providing not just physical warmth but also friendship, vital support and belonging close to home. Last winter, they recorded 2.6 million visits, with 70% of guests feeling less isolated and 87% reporting better mental wellbeing. January is often described as the coldest and loneliest time of the year, with “Blue Monday” symbolizing its lowest point. Warm Welcome Week is here to change that. |
