Blackpool CAN is also called Blackpool Community Action Network.<\/p>\n
Through the pandemic Blackpool Council and the Blackpool VCFSE sector have seen the critical value of thriving communities. People helped and supported others around them. Local government and health services developed stronger relationships with their local community, often facilitated by the VCFSE sector. Towns and cities with a thriving VCFSE sector supported by infrastructure organisations were able to put forward a better coordinated, stronger response.<\/p>\n
In the current economic climate, small locally based VCFSE organisations need support more than ever and it has been determined that there is a need to increase the capacity of the local VCFSE sector in Blackpool to deliver support to the wider community.\u00a0With this in mind, Blackpool Council, through the Shared Prosperity Fund, has provided financial resources to help build capacity & resilience to the Blackpool VCFSE sector to:\u00a0attract funding,\u00a0operate good governance,\u00a0recruit, train and manage volunteers,\u00a0influence public service commissioning,\u00a0network across the VCFSE and with relevant statutory bodies and other potential collaborators, and\u00a0simply know what\u2019s going on and disseminate knowledge at a local level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
