Blackpool's Making Waves Discussion Forum - March 2026

Please come along to our next network meeting on Thursday March 26th, 9.30am to 1pm (coffee and registration from 9am). To be held at House of Wingz, Back Read's Road, FY1 4QW. This venue is wheelchair accessible.
At this meeting, we want to explore how people from across sectors (health/social care/voluntary sector/arts) can come together to support individuals facing our three focus areas:
(i) end of life care and bereavement
(ii) substance use and recovery
(iii) young people’s mental health

Join in the discussion, find out about resources in the community you didn’t know about, meet providers from different sectors and make new connections!

More information will follow shortly!
