First of all apologies if you have already received this information by other channels...
Over recent months Together Lancashire has been working in partnership with Churches Together in Blackpool and the Blackpool Homeless Partnership to build stronger networks for our aim of Tackling Poverty Together.
We have found that while need is immense across Blackpool, a lot is being done but that information about projects and activities is not very well documented or shared. This survey is intended to gather information about existing work with the aim of devleoping better signposting and referrals between churches and caring groups serving the community, and helping us to build better partnerships and colaboration.
We hope to publish the basic contact information collected in a website format, and as a leaflet in the near future so people can easily find out about local services that serve those in need..
We would like a questionnaire to be completed for every relevant project or activity rather than for each church or organisation - as it is likely many churches will be running more than one relevant service or activity.
We are particularly interested to gather as extensive information as possible about the following categories of anti poverty work.
Food bank and food parcel services
drop ins, soup kitchens and community cafes
support services for homeless or formerly
homeless people
support for people wishing to find work
Money management courses or advice centres
welfare benefits advice and advocacy
helping people get online or with IT skills
family support work
Please use the link below to start entering data for your project or activity. If your church or organisation offers more than one relevant activity you can go back to the link as many times as you need in order to complete an entry for each one.

Because anyone can use this link to give us details about any relevant work, you can forward this to colleagues or friends who are doing work you feel should be included, and invite them to take part.
Thanks for your participation!
