We're extraordinarily pleased to announce that we have been chosen once again for the Co‑op community fund.

We've been invited by Wigan Council to meet with representatives from the UK's leading health and social care policy think tank, The Kings Fund on Friday 5 October, to highlight how our young carers have benefitted from our service engaging with The Deal principles; promoting an asset based approach to commmunity engagement and ensuring that those accessing services have their voices heard at strategic level.

We're holding a Health and Wellbeing Event on Thursday 4 October at Fur Clemt, Wigan, in partnership with Wigan Council and Wigan Borough CCG - as part of a pilot project in Ashton, Golborne, Lowton SDF to raise awarenss amongst GPs and practitioners at primary care level.
