Blackpool Carers Centre
Lancashire
Wooden Spoon Lancashire have contributed £40,000 to a substantial project at the Blackpool Carers Centre.
The Carers Centre, which supports over 1,000 young carers in the Blackpool area, provides respite for unpaid carers and their families. The centre serves as a lifeline to carers, from as young as five, who would otherwise feel isolated and unable to cope.
The project involves the redevelopment of their reception area, the demolition of an old building and the creation of a new outdoor facility which will provide space for carers to enjoy respite sessions in a safe multi purpose area.
