LANCASHIRE VOLUNTEER PARTNERSHIP
Lancashire Volunteer Partnership (LVP) was established in 2016 between public services who wanted to provide one gateway into public service volunteering. 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.
There's a variety of roles currently available including opportunities at Fleetwood Library, Adult Day Disability Centre, Thornton House Home for Older People as well as the 1:1 community support befriending service.

FLEETWOOD BEACH WHEELCHAIRS
This registered charity provides an invaluable service entirely thanks to their friendly band of volunteers.

FLEETWOOD PROMENADE PARKRUN
Volunteering for the parkrun is about an hour and a half on Saturday mornings from 8.30am, it could be just once a month or whenever you can help and it's a great way to start your weekend!
Roles include marshaling out on the course to make sure everyone is safe, as part of the start/finish team, and admin and promotion behind the scenes. Everyone supports and encourages those taking part from the first person home to the last, running, walking, volunteering ... there's the same sense of achievement.
