B&Q Blackpool

We provide 24hr support to vulnerable adults aged over 18years of age. We work with them on a 1:1 basis to address their immediate needs and also identify opportunities for them to reach their potential. We continue to support them once in their own tenancies for a period of 6 months. We promote a community feel within the Project and encourage our service users to be involved in the day to day meal preparation, gardening, painting and general day to day running of the project. This develops their independent living skills whilst also making the place more homely and encouraging ownership and service user involvement.

Supporting Our School Community We are a small primary school on the outskirts of Preston, proudly guided by our mission statement: “Aspire not to have more but to be more.” This simple yet powerful message reflects who we are and underpins our Christ‑centred approach in everything we do. How Your Donations Help Your generous support makes a real difference to the children and families in our school community. Breakfast Club: Donations help us continue running our Breakfast Club, which provides a positive and nourishing start to the day for many of our pupils. With increasing financial pressures on our budget, your contributions are more valuable than ever. Store-Cupboard Essentials: Items donated to our store cupboard are passed directly to families who need them most. This support has become a lifeline for many and is deeply appreciated. Thank You! Every donation—no matter the size—helps us continue caring for our children and supporting our families. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, generosity, and partnership in our mission.
