I’m pleased to announce that £140,000 of the Pride in Place Impact Fund is being harnessed to secure the future of the @citccharity hub on Waterloo Road.

After the devastating flooding at the end of last year, this fantastic, accessible mental health charity has been unable to serve South Shore at a time when support has been needed in the area more than ever, particularly following the recent fire in the area.

This funding, allocated by Blackpool Council from the Pride in Place funding I secured, will not only restore the hub but also fund the purchase the building, making it a true community-led and owned asset and securing its future.

Counselling in the Community does incredible work supporting people’s mental health across our town. I’m proud we’ve been able to step in, protect this vital service and help make sure it can continue supporting our community for years to come. 🤝
