"I think if this foundation wasn't here, I would be in a whole different place."

Sam started playing wheelchair rugby with Fylde Rugby Community Foundation five years ago. Today, he describes it as the first step in a life changing journey.

Funding from the Community Foundation for Lancashire helps cover costs that make these sessions possible.

Watch Sam's story below 👇

Community groups like Fylde RCF change lives every day, and they're able to do so thanks to the generosity of our donors.

For many older people, life can get very small, very quickly. In Lancashire, an estimated 35,000 people aged 65+ have little or no contact with anyone, and loneliness is closely linked to anxiety and depression.

Just Good Friends - North West is changing that by bringing people together. Meet some of the people using Just Good Friends to stay socially active 👇

We marked World Mental Health Day on Saturday, but the conversation doesn’t stop there. Check in on an older neighbour, relative or friend this week.

Up to 2.6 million UK adults are affected by hoarding disorder, yet it's rarely talked about…

David, our Programmes Manager, recently met Denise at Healthier Fleetwood, a not-for-profit helping Fleetwood residents build confidence and take control of their wellbeing.

Drawing on her own lived experience, Denise supports people facing hoarding and mental health challenges to declutter and re-purpose at their own pace, in a safe space.

The result? Service-users who never thought they'd speak openly about hoarding are now confident enough to attend the Northwest Hoarding Conference in Liverpool helping shape the national conversation.

Healthier Fleetwood recently received £3,500 from the Fylde & Wyre Prevention and Early Intervention Fund, helping residents stay independent for longer. 💙

Next week, our team will once again be joining the Pink Link Ladies at the Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAs).

EVAs are the UK's largest business awards dedicated solely to women. At their heart, these awards champion the women shaping the future of entrepreneurship.

As always, funds raised on the night will support the Lancashire Women's Fund, which invests in women-led community groups across the county, helping the women overcome barriers to fulfilling their potential.

We can't wait to celebrate another year of outstanding women in business! See you there!
