📢 Your views matter, whether you've used our services or not.

We're asking children, young people, parents and carers to complete a short survey to help us understand:

✅whether people know what help is available
✅ what is working well
✅where services could be improved
✅how easy it is to find support
✅what families need in the future

You don't need to have used our services to take part. Hearing from people who haven't accessed support is just as important. Your feedback will help us understand awareness of services and any barriers people may face when looking for help.

👉Take the survey: www.lancashire.gov.uk/family-survey/

💬 Need help completing the survey? Staff at any Lancashire Family Hub can support you. You can also get support by emailing [email protected]

Thank you for helping us improve services for children, young people and families across Lancashire.

Well done to the South Ribble Youth Council on their 12km walk all in aid of Lancashire Mind

The walk took a little over 3.5 hours with a short stop for lunch included. Whilst on the walk they supported each other, had fun, took part in a lighthearted scavenger hunt and finished with massive ice creams.

Currently their fundraising effort stands at just over £200 👏👏👏
