Hyndburn based charity Community Solutions Northwest are pleased to announce that they have secured continuation funding for the next 3 years from the National Lottery Community Fund for their Achieving People’s Potential (APP) project.

The funding is to provide 1-1 mentoring support and, where needed, counselling, for people coping with crisis or other challenges to help them to improve their mental health and, if wanted, to help them access employment, training, or volunteering.

They positively support people through personal life events, in a way that meets practical and emotional needs. Through face-to-face interaction and relationship building, they focus on personal strengths, to achieve positive outcomes.

Maggie Moody CEO said

“We believe that crisis support is only a first step on a journey towards fulfilment. Our APP project will support people’s next steps on their road to recovery, and longer-term, our mentors will walk alongside people as they navigate the major life hurdles they face, at a pace that works for them. APP will give people a leg up and support at the earliest possible opportunity, to help people see and achieve their full potential. Community Solutions is in the business of helping people, and APP gives us the capacity to be there for people for as long as they need us.”
