Company activities and impact

During this period, we have been able to continue to engage in research-based activities with Lancaster University and Lancashire University and have been fortunate to have received funding through Blackpool Council's Household Support Fund which has allowed us to offer community activities. We have been recruiting volunteers for our local services which support families struggling with food poverty and the current cost of living crisis. Our Community Pantry has proven very popular with members and visitors to the Community Hub and is providing us with the finance and therefore the opportunity to support families with disabled and neurodiverse children to navigate complex systems and access services. Although we have diversified, our objective is to continue to seek core funding to develop a leadership team to provide more sustainable services beyond the Fylde coast and reach further across Lancashire, to increase our regional impact on the families which we exist to provide early help and intervention.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are members of the community with lived experience who volunteer their time and skills and help to support our social enterprise activities. We work closely with other organisations and take a continuous learning approach to training and upskilling our volunteers. There are currently no paid positions with Better Minds Lancashire and we are hopeful that this will change in the future. It is evident that we have provided a space in which the local community can engage and take up opportunities for self-improvement and with continuous consultation from our community, we now have plans to extend our physical spaces to offer locally, as well as continuing to advocate for families with complex needs.
