Enabling people to be their best 

At Showley Court, one of our Older Persons Schemes in Blackburn, Critters Interactive delivered a wellbeing session that allowed customers to get up close and personal with some of the world’s most fascinating reptiles including snakes, lizards, and insects. Customers at the Older Persons Scheme also came together to create bonnets and bowler decorations for Easter.

In Accrington, our 1st Call Team held an event with local support services to provide advice and support with the cost of living and mental health. Over 100 local people attended with one saying: 

“Thank you for today, it was so helpful having lots of support in one room.”

Accrington Stanley Community Trust is a registered charity that supports local people across Hyndburn and the wider East Lancashire area through sport, education, health and community projects. The Trust will be using a grant from the Onward Community Fund to enhance its social inclusion programme for over 50s at the Stanley Sports Hub. This will include extending its warm hub hours, and offering free refreshments, wellbeing activities and support services to help older residents in the area stay connected, nourished and supported through the colder months.

Creating places people are proud of 

Our customers and colleagues recently came together with Lancashire County Council and Kokoro Tree Contracting to plant 1,500 new trees in an unused space in Clayton-le-Moors. The new woodland will create new habitats for wildlife and make our neighbourhoods greener. 

Over in Clayton-le-Moors, we’re also supporting Hyndburn Leisure’s Keep It Clean volunteering sessions, where Onward colleagues, students from Accrington and Rossendale College and community volunteers come together each month to litter pick and tidy spaces across the neighbourhood. 

We run an annual competition to celebrate customers who make their gardens special and help bring the community together. This year, the customers at Merlin Court, our Older Persons scheme in Oswaldtwistle, won the Bee Friendly award for the beautiful arrangements created in their communal garden for everyone, including the bees, to enjoy. Well done to everyone at Merlin Court! 

During antisocial behaviour week, we delivered a series of series of impact days and walkabouts across Lancashire with local police forces and teams across Onward to raise awareness.

Our 1st Call Team is working closely with those whose health conditions are impacting their ability to work in Preston as part of the UK Government’s Work Well project. A participant said:  

“My mentor has been so helpful and informative. Their support throughout the process gave me confidence to return to work and they’ve also helped me apply for funding to get special equipment which will make my job easier.”
