A big "thank you" to #Blackburn with Darwen @CommunityCVS for their recent grant which will enable our group to develop - it will help with marketing and go towards the cost of setting up a website; more soon. @blackburndarwen @WeAreTheFSA

Recently our Group Co-ordinator, Claire, was invited to speak at @CommunityCVS's network meeting. Whilst preparing for the event, Claire looked back at how many cakes have been baked since our group started in February 2013.

☕Our first Tea & Talk of 2026 will be taking place next week where we are launching our Rovers vs Cancer programme, with information on our Rovers Prehab and Rehab projects available as well as how to spot signs and symptoms and get the support you'd need. #BRCTInclusion #BRCTHealthandWellbeing #BRCTEvents | @springnorthHQ @AgeUKBwD @macmillancancer @CommunityCVS @TNLComFund @ELHT_NHS @LSCICB @EFL_Community
