Well done and a big thank you to everyone who joined in UCAN Trust’s first community event, a pilot, to test community interest in the huge issues associated with loneliness and social isolation in children, young people and families in our communities.


The weather was kind to us and the company even better. We set out from Burscough Football Club, walked along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal to Rufford Top Lock, stopping off at The Ship Inn, we passed Glovers Bridge on our way to Ring O Bells Pub. Admiring the cottages and gardens, the narrow boats and architecture along the way and finished at the Bridge Pub, with entertainment and sandwiches courtesy of Billie.
