The Annual Parish Meeting took place last night at The Old Grammar School.

Thank you to our Guest Speakers 

Beck House - Founder & Director of Strength in Struggles S.I.S

Beck delivered an excellent presentation sharing her story and own personal struggles and how she came about setting up Strength in Struggles S.I.S to help others who may be struggling with mental health, her future plans and her first premises which will be based in the heart of Whalley.

Chris Rowe – Director of Estates and Facilities – & Tara Allen – Head of Communications and Engagement - Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust
Chris & Tara gave a presentation from acquiring the site in 2024, updating on works completed and future plans. The plans haven’t changed for the site and the 4 zones remain unchanged which include Woodview, Maplewood, St Luke’s Church and the surrounding land. A slideshow is available on the Parish Council website for your information https://tinyurl.com/Clayfieldspresentation and they invite any questions from the community to be emailed to whalley@lscft.nhs.uk

The presentations followed the Chairmans annual report and the financial summary of accounts and an open forum closed the evening along with tea, coffee and biscuits.

Thank you to everybody involved and for all those that attended.
