We have received the following information from Lancashire Council regarding their new Housing with Care and Support Strategy 2026 - 2032. They would like to hear from people with lived experience of using housing, care and support services across Lancashire. The strategy aims to help ensure people can live as independently as possible, in a home that meets their needs, now and in the future.

They are holding face-to-face lived experience workshop to explore:
• What has worked well in your housing and support journey
• Challenges you have experienced
• Gaps in current support
• What good housing with care and support looks like
• What could be improved

Workshop Details
📅 Date: Thursday 17th September 2026
🕥 Time: 10:30am to 12:30pm
📍 Location: County Hall, Preston
