If alcohol, drugs or other addictive behaviours have been costing you and/or your loved ones more than money, our admissions staff can help you by offering a flexible residential programme at the centre which is most suitable for your needs. If your goal is to improve your life we can help you to achieve this. You will have the opportunity to examine behaviour patterns that have become problematic and which may be affecting your quality of life. You can learn new, positive coping strategies to help you make the changes necessary for ongoing recovery.\nContact via the helpline number in the first instance as listed.", "url": "www.ukat.co.uk", "logo": "", "uri": "" }, "pc_metadata": { "date_created": "2024-02-22", "date_modified": "2024-07-26", "date_assured": "2024-07-26", "assured_by": "simon.dickinson@digitalgaps.co.uk" }, "pc_targetAudience": [ { "id": "AddictSubstanceAbuser", "audienceType": "Alcohol / Substance user" } ] }, { "id": "8924201d-a655-7b6f-8454-f258e3db05e8", "name": "Advice Services - Benefits - Employment Issues", "description": "Maundy Relief offers FREE advice and support about benefits, housing, and employment.

The FREE National Youth Advocacy Service (NYAS) supports care experienced children, young people and adults in vulnerable situations. The NYAS advocacy service is independent, advocates do not work for your carers or children’s services.
An advocate can help you understand your situation and your choices. They can make sure what you want is heard and respected. They can attend meetings and reviews with you or on your behalf. They will be led by you and help you with whatever issues you are worried about.
To find out about getting an advocate, you can contact the free national helpline by phone, online chat, email or WhatsApp. There is a link below to the contact page on the NYAS website.
https://www.nyas.net/get-support/support-for-young-people/helpline/
If you prefer, you can ask your social worker or someone you trust to contact NYAS for you.
If English is not your first language, NYAS can provide an interpreter to join your call.

The Bridgeway offers support for people who have been sexually assaulted or raped. They work out of Penrith Hospital and support anyone who lives within Cumbria.
If you have been a victim of rape or sexual assault you may not want to make a crime report to the police. This is completely your decision, you will not be pressured to make a report. If you're not sure what you want to do the helpline advisors can go through all of the options with you.
You will be asked to write an account of what happened, without your details. The benefit of this is the police can build a picture of what is happening in your area. They can gather evidence that will help them possibly with further investigations. They will not be able to arrest or bring criminal charges to anyone without making a formal report. But it may give them the chance to gain more evidence. You can even get forensic samples sent for anonymous testing.
All information you give to them is confidential and if you want to you can speak anonymously. The only reason they would give more information is if a child is at risk of harm or if they believe that you will harm yourself or someone else.
If after a period of time, you wish to talk to the police about your crime they will support you to do this. Or if you want to formally make a crime report this can be done. Whether you decide to involve the police or not the same services are offered to you.
Their helpline is open 24 hours a day every day.

To make sure this is done, all newborn babies will have a hearing screening test which will show if there is any possible hearing loss. This will be done shortly after the baby is born, either in hospital or at home in the following few weeks.
Follow the link below for more information about newborn hearing screening https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/baby/newborn-screening/hearing-test/

SIDS is sometimes also known as cot death. It refers to the death of a baby, usually in their sleep, that can't be explained through accident or illness. The Lullaby befrienders are people who have had personal experience with SIDS and will have an understanding of your situation. They will listen to you, and offer support for as long as you need it.
This is a FREE service.
If you would like to be put in contact with a Befriender, you first need to call Bereavement Support Service, using the listed number. The team will then aim to connect you with someone who has a similar experience to you whenever possible. You can then arrange times to talk that work for you both. You can use email or phone to keep in touch.
St Catherine’s is a local hospice that cares for adults in Chorley, Preston, and South Ribble who have a life-shortening condition and their loved ones. The Befriending Service is for people with a life-shortening condition who are still living in their homes. They must be mainly housebound and socially isolated. It does not matter whether they are already known to the hospice or not. The befrienders are volunteers who have the training and the relevant checks. They can be a listening ear and someone to talk to. They can support you to join in with your hobbies and or outings. They cannot provide personal and mobility care. This gives a chance for your regular career to take a break.
They can visit up to four times a week. To access this service email or call the number given. They will then come and do an initial meeting to see if this support is right for you. You do not need a GP or healthcare referral.

The Local Authority expects to support schools in any significant incident. Schools are not expected to cope alone with incidents involving for example, death or anything that attracts intensive media interest.
A school that is well prepared to deal with tragedies is like to be well equipped to respond to other issues relating to loss and bereavement (for example, pupils may experience death of a close relative, parental separation or divorce, or the loss of a pet) and this will also be helping its pupils towards an emotionally literate adult life.

The Lullaby Trust offers support for families who have experienced the loss of a baby or young child through Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS sometimes known as cot death refers to the sudden, unexpected death of a baby or young child.
The trust has lots of information and advice on its website. There are separate pages of information for different family members, e.g... grandparents, siblings, parents, and wider family members.
There is also a bereavement support helpline you can call for support. It is available every day including bank holidays. The helpline is not a counselling service, but, rather a listening service. The helpline team are volunteers who have personal experience with SIDS. They can offer 1:1 support and a chance to talk to someone who has an understanding of your situation. You can talk for as long as you like and call back whenever you need to talk again. This service is confidential.

Communicars is a fantastic volunteer transport scheme for elderly and disabled people who have difficulty traveling via public transport. Due to Volunteers using their own vehicles, we are unable to accommodate Wheelchairs. These are just a few of the most common reasons for using Communicators:
-Doctor’s appointments
-Hospital visits
-Dental appointments
-Going to the hairdressers
-Trips into town
-Taking you shopping
-Collecting your pension from the Post Office
-Travelling to visit friends and family
Communicators are a vital lifeline for many people who would otherwise be unable to get out and about. Isolated people rely on Communicars to transport them around for essential journeys which would be very difficult or prohibitively expensive to do on their own. At BPRCVS they have a team of volunteer drivers that provide the Communicars service using their own cars. Communicars are available to people living in Burnley, Pendle, and Rossendale.
Unlike other community transport schemes, Communicars is a door-to-door service that can transport up to 3 passengers at any given time. The safety of passengers is paramount to Burnley, Pendle, and Rossendale CVS.
Please note: Communicators is a very low-cost service specifically designed for and available to those who cannot access public transport. Communicars is not a taxi service.
You have to complete a referral form and send it through.

Credit cards are like having a loan for the amount you've spent using the card. They can be a good thing if used well but you need to take care. The Interest rate on a credit card can be high. If you miss a payment this can mean debts start to increase. This calculator will let you see how much a credit card will cost you.
Using the calculator you can also work out how you can pay off your existing cards. You can add multiple cards. As part of the result, you can alter the repayment amount to see how that affects the length of time you'll be paying. This will also show you how much extra interest you will pay.

The Dietetics team provides support and advice for all wards around the Trust’s hospitals. A patient may not want to eat or may not be able to eat because of their other health conditions. Without good nutrition, patients will take much longer to get better. The Dietetics team work with ward staff to find a way to ensure each patient gets the nutrition, food and calories, they need to help them get better. For many people when we think about a dietician we probably think about dieting to lose weight, but there is much more to it than that. Many major health conditions can be made better, or stopped from getting worse by eating well or knowing what foods to avoid.
The link below will take you to a page that contains lots of links to self-help leaflets relating to diet and nutrition for adults. Topics include diabetes, coeliac disease, heart health and many more.
https://elht.nhs.uk/services/dietetics/dietetics-self-help-leaflets-adults
The Dietetics team also provides nutritional support for babies and children, which can include working with children with allergies or diabetes. Again, away from the support a child might receive in the hospital, some lots can be done at home. The link below takes you to a page that contains links to lots of self-help information for supporting children who may have problems relating to food and nutrition.
https://elht.nhs.uk/services/dietetics/dietetics-self-help-children
Topics covered include-
-Paediatric Weight Management.
-Measuring your Child's Height and Weight
-Weaning Advice
-Constipation
-Fussy Eating
-Iron Deficiency
-Coeliac Disease and Gluten-Free Diets
-Food Allergy
On the main page, there is also a link, shown below, to lots of webinars, and videos, about diet, food, and related health topics. There are lots of topics covered and it is easy to find what you want. These may be good if you find it hard to work your way through things when they are written down. They can also help to get some extra information when you have read the leaflets.

Age UK has teamed up with solicitors in Lancashire to provide this service.
Making a will is the only way to make sure that when a person dies everything they own (their estate) goes to the people they have chosen. It can be a complicated process to make a will and to make sure it is legal. When you go to your appointment, a solicitor will talk to you about your final wishes. They will then draw up a legal will using the information you have given them.
If you need to add anything that’s not included in the basic service it will cost more. You will be told about the cost of anything you want to add before any work is done. The discount is up to half price for a basic will which will be donated back to Age UK.
This service is by appointment only.
You can also complete an online form here to ask about this service and someone will contact you. - https://www.ageuk.org.uk/lancashire/our-services/will-writing-service/will-writing-contact-form/

Talking Therapies are for people to self-refer for the opportunity to attend either 1-to-1 or group-based discussions with a trained Mental Health Professional - usually a Psychologist.
EMDR is a 1-to-1 therapy, designed for working with distressing traumatic memories. The theory behind EMDR is that distress and psychological difficulties caused by traumatic experiences have not been stored in the memory properly and are unprocessed or blocked. These traumatic memories may need to become processed or unblocked, and EMDR is one psychological therapy used to do.
There is good evidence that EMDR is an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for PTSD but not for military veterans when the trauma is consequent to their military service.
You can self-refer or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1 to 1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live. Visit the website and you can identify the appropriate number based on your locality. The information on this webpage is available in more than 100 written and spoken languages.

The Fresh Food Initiative is a project that aims to bring together community members who grow fresh fruits and vegetables. These delicious foods might otherwise be thrown away, but the project wants to make sure they go to good use by helping local food banks. The initiative also provides training and support to people who want to learn how to grow their food. They offer opportunities and create special places where individuals can grow their fruits and vegetables. They even find ways to use food that might not be used otherwise and make the most of unused spaces.
One important part of the project is connecting growers directly with local food banks. This way, the fresh produce can go straight to the people who need it the most. It's all about working together to make sure everyone has access to healthy and fresh food. If you would like to get involved you can contact the project by phone or email using the listed contact details.

They offer counselling for low self-esteem, bereavement, abuse, and other personal issues. Counselling is a talking therapy, delivered by trained professionals.

If you would like to find out more you can email or call during the listed opening times.
They offer a couples counseling service for residents of West Lancashire. Unforeseen changes can strain relationships.

For more information, you can contact CWL using the listed contact details. You can also send a message using their online form by clicking on the ‘Contact Us’ link at the bottom of the listed web page.

Talking Therapies are for people to self-refer for the opportunity to attend either 1 to 1 or group-based discussions with a trained Mental Health Professional - usually a Psychologist.
Goal Difference is a group-based course that will help you better understand common issues related to mental health (such as depression, anxiety, sleep issues, panic for example) and help you start to learn self-management techniques.
The course is run online and consists of 8 one hour sessions that you will attend with approximately 10 other people - you will be supported by 2 or 3 trained facilitators. Working in a group, can be very beneficial to meet others facing similar challenges - and can also be less intense / emotionally tiring than 1-to-1 therapy. There are some rules about participating in group-based support that are explained on the website and during the start of the course.
You can self-refer or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1-to-1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live. Visit the website and you can identify the appropriate number based on your locality. The information on this webpage is available in more than 100 written and spoken languages.

Lancashire Mind believes that having a good home is important for mental health and well-being. Their housing service provides homes for people who are struggling with their mental health. The housing team helps people to settle into their new homes. Tenants will then get advice and support to learn to live on their own.
The service is based on what each person needs and helps them to learn the skills they need to take care of their home. Tenants get help and support with things like:
- Money
- Benefits
- Safety and Security
- Community services
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Health and care services
- Independence.
When people are ready, we help them move on. This usually happens after around two years when people can successfully live on their own. The team will then help them find and apply for a new home and get ready to move.

Hydrotherapy is exercise in a warm water pool while being supported by a qualified physiotherapist. Some people who have M.S. find that this is the best way to safely stay active. The buoyancy of the water helps to make your limbs feel lighter and the water also provides resistance, which helps to strengthen muscles. Hydrotherapy is also a form of 'low impact' exercise, which reduces the risk of strain or injury.

There is information on safe sleep in plain language so young parents are better informed to make decisions about how their baby can sleep safely. There is also information and guidance on other topics related to being a young parent such as: -
- housing and benefits advice
- sexual health
- finding work
- staying in education.
The Little Lullaby website also has blogs written by young parents about their personal experiences. All the information about safer sleep for babies of young parents is available on their website 24/7. If you have any worries or if you would like more information you can call or email using the listed details.

They can however, where clinical priorities dictate, be used for patients whilst they await an inpatient bed becoming available as part of the admission lounge.
Mental health assessments take place by MHLT in a calm environment with support from mental health staff, also providing an admission lounge to support service users waiting for admission to an inpatient bed who would ordinarily remain in A&E.
Access is via A&E only, MHLT receives referrals from A&E and then triages to consider transfer to MHUAC for a mental health assessment to take place where there is no medical need to remain in A&E or where medical intervention has been completed.

-Working Tax Credit
-Income Support
You'll usually get one monthly payment to cover your living costs. If you claim Universal Credit as a couple, you and your partner will get one payment between the 2 of you. The payment is made up of a basic 'standard allowance' and extra payments that might apply to you depending on your circumstances.
The tool can help you if you are making a new claim or if you are moving to Universal Credit from another benefit. You will get budget advice for managing while waiting for your first payment. They will give you personal support for your situation and give you tips for cutting household costs. You can get advice on what to do and where to go for extra support if you're struggling.
You can save the information and go back to it later.

Talking Therapies are for people to self-refer for the opportunity to attend either 1-to-1 or group-based discussions with a trained Mental Health Professional - usually a Psychologist.
Psychological Wellbeing is a 1-to-1 service where you will be supported by a Practitioner to build your confidence and help you face your fears. Support will typically last for 6-8 weeks to support you to look to move forward. This may be helpful for people suffering with low mood, issues around panic, sleep issues or confidence - or a wide range of other issues. Sessions may be run face to face, by telephone or online - in discussion with the allocated therapist. Visit the web-page to access more information - the information is translated into over 100 languages.
You can self-refer - by going online and filling out the form - or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1-to-1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live - details below. Their offices are open 9-5 pm Monday-Friday.

National Ugly Mugs (NUM) offers FREE online and text alerting and reporting systems for sex workers in the UK. Using this system, sex workers can report and avoid crimes committed against other sex workers in their area. Their system includes a report, alert, and checker function.
Report - This function enables you to report any crimes that have been committed against you. This includes robbery violence and sex crimes. You can also choose if you want to also report to the police and make an official report. The NUM team will provide the police with information about this crime, but if you do not want to create an official report then they will only give none identifying information.
Alert- The alert function provides the option to sign up to receive alerts about crimes that have been committed in your area. If a serious crime has been committed a text will be sent out giving you the details of the attacker and what to do if you come into contact with them. This will help you keep yourself safe.
Checker- The Checker function allows users to check the details of clients and make sure they haven't committed a crime before. If a sex worker has reported them, their information will be available to you along with details of what crimes they have committed. You can use this to make sure you only see clients who won't harm you.
To access this you must become a member on their website. This support is only available to current sex workers.
To apply for access you can call using the 0800 number on a Tuesday- Friday to talk to a case worker. Or you can use their online chat within the member's area on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Talking Therapies is a self-referral based set of services that provide the opportunity to attend either 1-to-1 or group-based discussions with a trained Mental Health Professional - usually a Psychologist.
This sleep group is an eight-week group-based therapy course based on CBT for sleep (CBT-I). The focus is on teaching you how to identify and address barriers that prevent you from having balanced and efficient sleep patterns / behaviours. The course is split into two 4-week blocks and only those who need ongoing support will continue with the second-set of 4 weeks.
The tools and strategies shared in the Sleep Group have been developed after research and evidence base practice led by Colin Espie (Professor of Sleep Medicine in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences) and his CBT programme for Overcoming Insomnia.
You can self-refer or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1 to 1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live. Visit the website and you can identify the appropriate number based on your locality. The information on this webpage is available in more than 100 written and spoken languages.

In addition to advocating for victims, Paladin offers training to professionals to raise awareness of stalking and the impacts it has upon victims and have developed and deliver a very reputable ISAC Training Course.

Specialisms include but are not limited to:
• Addiction/dependence
• Drug and/or alcohol moderation

Therapy takes place through an integrative lens. The focus is to formulate interventions that best match the client’s needs and available resources. Our practitioner is guided primarily by contemporary psychoanalytic/dynamic ideas, theory, and practice.
We have a small number of funded places, but these go quickly, and regrettably, there is often a waiting list. However, it is also possible to access the service by paying an hourly fee.

Lancaster District Street Aid helps former rough sleepers stay off the streets for good by funding essential and useful items which help people maintain tenancies and improve their loves.
By supporting Street Aid, local people have a cashless way of making a real change and as an alternative to offering money on the street – which is often used to feed drug or alcohol dependency even among those in supported housing with specialist health services.

Talking Therapies are for people to self-refer for the opportunity to attend either 1 to 1 or group-based discussions with a trained Mental Health Professional - usually a Psychologist.
If you are suffering from stress you may be offered a place on a Stress Control course. This is a 6-week group course held either online or at various locations across Lancashire. This is designed to train people on how to manage stress caused by anxiety, worry, low mood, panic, poor sleep, or loss of confidence.
The 6 sessions are 90 minutes long with a 10-minute break. The sessions are non-interactive in that you will not be asked to talk in front of other people - the approach is based on the use of slideshows, online handouts, video, and audio for wellbeing.
You can self-refer or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1 to 1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live. Visit the website and you can identify the appropriate number based on your locality. The information on this webpage is available in more than 100 written and spoken languages.

The Deaf Dementia Toolkit is a series of BSL signed videos discussing the dementia journey. A toolkit has been developed to discuss the issues facing a deaf person or deaf carer.
The toolkit stresses the importance of support for the person with dementia and their family/carers. It may not be the person with Dementia who uses BSL. It may be someone who supports them but they still need to be able to understand the information that is being given. This toolkit uses information on the laws in Scotland If you live in England some parts of the toolkit might not be relevant.

The Greenhouse Project, run by The Lancashire Wildlife Trust, is part of their Nature & Wellbeing Service.
The project helps people learn to grow healthy food like fruits and vegetables in a way that is friendly to wildlife. They also teach how to live in harmony with nature.
They recycle local waste to make compost and fertilizer and are planning to collect their own water and make electricity.
The Greenhouse Project offers a place to be active, find peace, have fun, be creative, learn, feel included, and make friends.
They work with community groups to teach them to grow their own food and organize wildlife walks to explore nature.
Participants can help at the greenhouses, protect nature, learn bushcraft skills, go on wildlife walks, and practice mindfulness. Check their website to see what's happening!
If you would like to become involved in the project, or to volunteer for any of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust projects, you can use the link below to the online registration form.

The garden is in a quiet part of this beautiful park. If you don't want to garden you can just come and spend time outdoors. You can enjoy nature and the gardens followed by a brew. The Rose Garden Cabin has a small kitchen and a disabled toilet. In winter the cabin has central heating that will be on to keep you cosy as you sit and chat.
Whitehall Park Supporters Group has worked hard to make the garden easy for everyone to use. They have just installed a two-way gate and level concrete paths. Raised veg beds and wheelchair-friendly potting and picnic benches mean everyone can enjoy the garden.

Home-Start volunteers come from all walks of life and experiences. All that’s asked of them in return is that they have a caring and non-judgemental attitude and can commit to visiting a family in their own home for two-three hours per week.
What Home-Start volunteers offer is a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on and a practical pair of hands. Right from the start, parents are told that Home-Start’s ethos is not to judge, which is crucial for parents reaching out for help. What our volunteers do is build a trusting relationship with their family. This is a gradual process and is taken at the family’s own pace, so that they feel in control and not coerced into making changes they are not ready for.

The Wellbeing Workshop is a group-based set of workshops targeted at people suffering from stress or anxiety. This workshop is an interactive course over 6 weeks that will help you learn how to cope with anxiety, stress, and depression. It will help improve your overall well-being.
You will have weekly sessions each lasting 2 hours with a 10-minute break. This course is offered at various locations across Lancashire.
You can self-refer or ask a GP for a referral. Or you can contact the Talking Therapies service by phone to discuss your needs and they will identify the most appropriate 1 to 1 or group based sessions. The telephone number to call is based on where you live - opening hours are 9am-5pm on Mondays to Fridays. Visit the website and you can identify the appropriate number based on your locality. The information on this webpage is available in more than 100 written and spoken languages.
The children and family wellbeing service provides a range of services for the wider community and can provide specialist support, from one on one, to peer and group support. The support covers expectant parents, babies and young people to the age of 19 (25 on if on SEND).

This gives people with busy lives the chance to take part. All topics are regularly revisited, so everyone should have the chance to take part in talking about the issues that are important to them.

It also gives them the opportunity to attend monthly meetings at County Hall in Preston equipping them with skills that gives them a voice and influence over decisions that affect them.
The lively and growing youth group meet every Friday from 5pm. No need to book, just come along. The focus is on chat and catching up and looking to be supportive / encouraging with each other, but we play games and follow the mood.
Do join us if you’re in Secondary School, we’d love to welcome you.
Our youth group provides a safe and fun place for children aged 11-16 to spend time together. The group meets every other Monday from 6pm to 7:30pm.
We aim to have fun and joy every meeting, and we also offer a chance for children to talk about their worries with one of our mentors. This is unique and very helpful. We know growing up can be tough, so our group aims to offer a safe space to navigate challenges and celebrate good times.
Located in our 'Yurt', we offer crafts, sports, and relaxation activities. The youth group is free because we believe money shouldn't stop anyone from having fun, laughing, and getting support.

As well as a world of activities, their Green Team is also made up of qualified Youth Workers, there to support young people through whatever challenges life throws their way. Whether that be transitioning to high school, identity or even a global pandemic – they are here for young people no matter what.
