@ChrisWebbMP Thank you for visiting and highlighting the work we’re doing in the community. We’re keen to do more prevention work like this as it’s making such a difference.
Investing in social prescribing alongside social welfare advice really does save lives.
I had the privilege of visiting @BlackpoolCAB on Whitegate Drive to see firsthand the incredible work they’re doing to support residents with respiratory health conditions. I met with Steve, the dedicated lead on their respiratory project, who shared how their team has already helped over 3,500 people across Blackpool. 🗣️

@ChrisWebbMP Thank you for raising this in the house. As a community based charity we rely on funding to meet the needs of people in Blackpool and there are many struggling with the cost of energy and food. Our advice is a lifeline and we cannot meet the demand for our services

I voiced some of my concerns to the Secretary of State yesterday and will be speaking to her at length about them soon.

@ChrisWebbMP Thank you for stating your position. At CAB we are very concerned about people who cannot work being pushed into employment that will set them up to fail. We also want to discuss alternatives as we don’t feel it is a policy direction that will in any way support our population.

Our volunteers make such a huge contribution to our service, providing high quality advice to the people of Blackpool everyday. I know we thank them every week for the difference they make, but this week, here’s a great BIG THANK YOU! You’re all amazing. #volunteersweek
Happy to be facilitating on the Green Communities agenda for Lancashire with VCFSE partners. Many opportunities to work with our communities alongside health, education & district council colleagues around public spaces, net zero, food supply chains, social prescribing.
