The partnership funding application, submitted in conjunction with Lancashire Wildlife Trust, was one of 21 succesful bids, out of a total of 3,000. The funding which will support the two-year project, was granted by the Greener Communities Fund, managed by NHS Charities Together in partnership with Starbucks and Hubbub.
Growing Good Health in Lancashire will bring together decades of skills and experience within both the Foundation Trust and Lancashire Wildlife Trust to build a programme of work that delivers excellence for both people and nature. The project will focus on further development of the Grow Your Own service on the community space within the grounds of guild park Goosnargh Whittingham, and improvement works at the Chai Centre – a community centre - in Burnley.
