Blackpool CAN – Helping Connect Community Groups With Businesses

The Duchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund

The Fund's current practice in Lancashire is to make one-off grants to help with specific needs of individuals, organisations and voluntary groups throughout the community for purposes for which statutory funding is not available.

Together We Can Make a Change in Blackpool

Blackpool CAN are helping to build the capacity and resilience of Blackpool’s Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector.

‘Our aim is to support the Blackpool VCFSE sector and to deliver more help to the community.’

We Provide Support in the Following Ways:

Support & Funding

We work to bring funders back to Blackpool and to provide support so organisations can find and apply for funding to provide, grow, and adapt their services, and help the VCFSE sector to thrive.
