Our response to community need

The Community Foundation for Lancashire recognises and understands the huge challenges faced by charities and community organisations during the cost of living crisis, and the individuals and families they support.

Government intervention to support households and charitable organisations with energy costs is welcomed, though immense pressure remains, particularly for those on low incomes, isolated older people, and people struggling with their mental health.

The Community Foundation for Lancashire actively listens to our communities and understands their needs. Food banks are working flat out, and community centres and churches are providing warm hubs through the winter. Debt advice charities, such as the Citizens Advice Bureau, are reporting extremely high numbers of support requests, and mental health charities and GPs are forecasting a huge increase in mental health crises and suicide rates.
