Brian House

Brian House Children’s Hospice opened in December 1996 to provide a ‘home from home’ environment for children and young adults from within the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre areas who have life threatening and/or life limiting conditions. They and their families have multiple complex needs and Brian House meets those needs, providing support for the families and care for the children/young adults who will not be cured of their illness.

Respite care, provided at regular intervals, gives the family the opportunity to experience times of relief and normality.

Brian House exists to provide support for children who require that special care – Palliative Care as it is known - together with their families and friends in an open, honest and sensitive manner.

Fylde Coast YMCA

The YMCA Movement in England is one of the largest youth development charities in the country. Although the YMCA has changed considerably since it was founded 160 years ago, their guiding principles remain the same.

Their 'whole person' approach to young people's well-being and development takes physical health seriously - and so many YMCAs around the country offer fitness programmes and encourage participants to choose healthy lifestyles.

But development of the mind and the spirit　are just as important - which is why YMCAs offer such a wide range activities and services to young people including school teaching, accommodation, vocational training, spiritual guidance and friendship.
