WHO IS LANCASHIRE VOLUNTEER PARTNERSHIP?
Lancashire Volunteer Partnership (LVP) was established in 2016 between public services who wanted to provide one gateway into public service volunteering.
Our aim is to make volunteering for public services rewarding and to provide opportunities for people to make a real difference in their local communities, with the values that shape us.
By bringing these opportunities into one place and by working together we believe we can look after our volunteers better and allow them to use their skills for the benefit of all.
We are passionate about supporting people in need of help and building stronger, more resilient communities that can flourish; and at the heart of this are our LVP volunteers who are truly amazing.
Take a look at some of their stories and why they choose to volunteer with us.
WHAT OUR PARTNERS HAVE TO SAY
‘The long term vision of the partnership is to strengthen community resilience and engage communities in how public services are delivered in their area to better reflect their needs.’
Sakthi Karunanithi – Director of Public Health, Lancashire County Council
‘We know that mental health is a driver for much of public service demand and by better supporting those in need at an early stage we can prevent people hitting crisis situations and help them fulfil their life ambitions.’
‘We are committed to supporting people in the places where they live and encourage communities to take an active part in social action for the benefit of their neighbourhood.’
Sayyed Osman – Director for Localities, Housing and Prevention at Blackburn with Darwen Council
