ABOUT US

Drugline – Lancashire was established in 1986 with support from NCH Action for Children. In 1993 the service gained independent charity status. The service then continued to offer a range of substance misuse projects for adults, young people and their families across Lancashire for over 28 years.

The service in 2006 re branded its growing sexual health working under the SHIVER (Sexual Health HIV Education and Responses) banner. From April 2011 the service diversified its activities and changed its name to Renaissance at Drugline Lancashire, a new dawn for substance misuse and sexual health services. Currently delivering services across Lancashire and Blackpool.

ABOUT US

Lancashire Women is a leading charity for women and girls in Lancashire with over 8500 women accessing their services over the past year and 31 active volunteers supporting delivery of their services. Their vision is where all women and girls in Lancashire are valued and treated as equals. Lancashire Women empower women and girls to be able to transform their lives by bringing them together to: find their voice, share experiences and understanding, develop their knowledge and skills and challenge stereotypes and misconceptions about them… so that they can have choices in becoming the individuals they want to be.

Through their network of female only centres, located across the county, they can help Lancashire Women:

  • Improve mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Get advice on managing money, benefits and debt
  • Improve skills, knowledge and gain employment
  • Meet others and build friendships
  • Life safer, happier and more positive lives

“My life has turned around because of the support I’ve received. I feel that a light bulb has been turned on.”

ABOUT US

Lancashire Mind’s vision is Mental Wellbeing for All

We’re an independent charity, based in Chorley and working for the people of Lancashire. Our committed and energetic team of staff, trustees and volunteers are passionate about making a difference to the mental health of people living and working in Lancashire.

We see a future where everyone in Lancashire understands their mental health and wellbeing, see it as important as physical health and know how to look after it.

We do this by:

Working with people of all ages to build resilience, wellbeing and knowledge of mental health
We work with children from an early age and in communities around Lancashire to increase awareness of mental health and the ways in which we can improve and maintain our wellbeing.

Supporting people who are experiencing barriers to achieving good mental health
We provide group and one-to-one coaching for people at risk of developing poor mental health, helping them to identify barriers and unhelpful behaviours and develop coping strategies through guided self help.

Helping people to achieve and maintain recovery from poor mental health
We provide housing and support for people with a mental health condition to return to independent living.
