Re: [Blackpool Together Lancashire Network %] Support for needy people in Blackpool... Information posted by Blackpool Care and Share

Hi

 

I did some considerable work on this last year and produced the attached document which may be useful.

 

Please note that the Walter Robinson Community Centre which is closed in August is re-opening at St Marks Layton and as soon as I get their new timetable I will be amending this document.

 

Also please note more soup kitchens like to be called 'Community Cafes' these days to take away the old stigma.

 

Hope this helps

I'm taking it on trust that this information is current and well researched.... It is probabably not comprehensive..

the most up to date listing I currently have was compiled by the Blackpool Homeless partnership  a couple of years back and can be found here
