The Volunteer Hub

Designed, operated and delivered by Active Lancashire, The Challenge Through Sport Initiative (CSI) is an innovative behaviour change programme for people in recovery.

The Challenge through Sport Initiative provides much more than a way of getting active. For participants the project is an opportunity to engage in activities within their community and importantly, can allow them to develop a new support network, motivating them to lead a healthier and happier life

       Church and Oswaldtwistle Rotary

Is a group of around 37 men and women who work to improve the lives of people in the local community and internationally. We work with local youth groups and schools, and with the elderly and vulnerable. We also undertake environmental projects. We fundraise regularly, our two main events being the Santa Sleigh at Christmas and our annual ‘Run or Ramble with Rotary’ sponsored walk. Our Club is a mix of ages – our youngest member is 20 and our oldest is 86! We are almost 50% women, and our members come from all walks of life. Your occupation is not important, what matters is your enthusiasm and commitment.

Prospects Foundation is an environmental charity covering the Borough of Hyndburn. We carry out projects with local community groups, schools and other organisations to conserve and enhance the natural environment, encourage local food growing and raise environmental awareness. We provide outdoor learning and volunteer opportunities which improve general health and wellbeing and enhance the quality of life for those involved. Our beneficiaries come from all sections of the community and we aim to work with hard to reach groups on the fringes of society, who are often excluded from mainstream activity.

Spring into Action

Our vision is of an inclusive society where people with learning disabilities can fully participate. We do this by providing opportunities for people with learning disabilities to participate in activities, volunteer within services and find employment. We provide quality, inclusive services and work in partnership with other service providers to run regular sessions that allow service users opportunities to flourish and achieve their potential.
