Third Sector Trends: Final Report 🤝

New research confirms what we see every day: Need doesn't fall evenly and neither does funding.

The areas facing the toughest challenges often have the tightest budgets yet collaborate and adapt the most.

That's why local knowledge matters. It's how we get support where it's needed most.

The ripple effect of funding. 💙

Recently, we awarded £3,000 to Colne Open Door Centre, through the Mark McQueen Foundation Fund, to continue funding a counsellor supporting men at risk of su***de.

But the impact of funding reaches beyond those accessing the service.

Amy, a volunteer at Colne Open Door was inspired to pursue crisis work.

It's a reminder that charities don't just support service users. They support volunteers and inspire people to help others.

Reflecting on our 2nd Annual Summer Drinks Event 🍹

Last week, we held our second Community Foundation for Lancashire Summer Drinks event.
The words of our guest speaker, Moira O'Shaughnessy, Managing Partner at FPC, are still ringing in our ears.

Her belief that wealth can, and should, be used to create positive change has translated into a ten-year partnership with us, including the establishment of named funds for FPC clients and the FPC Foundation.

It was wonderful to see how much our partnership means to her:

"Supporting our clients in their philanthropic journeys has been the pinnacle of my professional career."

We can only say that the respect and admiration for FPC is reciprocated. People like Moira, businesses like FPC, and their clients are what make our work possible.

Investigating Inequalities in the Funding for LGBTQ+ Groups 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Research by Consortium highlights the inequalities in funding that the LGBTQ+ community faces, with just 0.1% of available funding in the sector being awarded annually.

Members of our team, Amy, David, and Michael, have shared their thoughts on this both as members of the LGBTQ+ community and professionals working in funding.

Nothing beats a lunchtime picnic in the sunshine ☀️

Last Wednesday Amy Norris and Kelly Roberts spent the afternoon enjoying a picnic, while getting to know the amazing ladies at Idle Women!

They also had the chance to explore a luminarium together, a mind-bending space.

Idle Women creates art projects and spaces for women leaving crisis support and refuges.

Thank you to everyone at Idle Women for making us feel so welcome! We had such a lovely time getting to know you all. 💙

🌱 Exciting times for Lancashire!

CFL’s Rae Brookes and Timothy Mitchell attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Eden Project Morecambe, a £100 million regeneration and climate education project that will transform the seafront of Morecambe Bay.

Backed by a wide range of partners and supporters, including our Lancashire Investors in Community Ambassador Edwin Booth, the project promises exciting opportunities for education, sustainability, tourism and economic growth across the county.

It's fantastic to see investment in initiatives that help make Lancashire a great place to live, work and visit.
