💙 Community support is what we’re all about! 💙

It’s always great when we can support an amazing local charity, and it’s something we’re lucky enough to do regularly. 🥰

It may not always be a huge donation, but we truly believe every little helps. Small contributions can make a big difference to those who need it most. ❤️

We’ve also got some hats and gloves on their way, which the team will be able to hand out to people experiencing homelessness as the colder weather arrives. 🧤🧣

If anyone is able to help or contribute towards purchasing more items, West Lancs Ark would really appreciate your support. 🙏💙

Together, those little acts of kindness can make a BIG difference! đź’™

At West Lancs Ark... We care. We don't expect thanks or gifts. They are an added boost and are very welcome. It's not often we get feedback. So, when we do. It boosts the team to keep doing what we do.

Hello, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine. It's not often I ask for help myself.
My fridge freezer broke, and the next day, my tv gave up. The fridge freezer had to take priority. I am looking to see if anyone has a spare tv I can have or borrow until I can get one. Many thanks, Sue.

I spent a week attending Armed Forces Day events around Lancashire. I actually forgot to celebrate our Veterans in Skelmersdale at the weekly Coffee Stop every Thursday afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. So, to make up for my mistake and make it up to our veterans. I am looking for 24 cup cakes for next Thursday. Hopefully, union jack themed..

Due to unforseen circumstances, this event is cancelled.
