Welcome to
Brighter Lives North West

Hello

Welcome to Brighter Lives North West.

We are a community interest company based at Valley Street Community Centre in Burnley.

Alongside a great team of fully trained volunteers, we are here to support children, young people and adults from Burnley and Padiham in all aspects of their lives.

Whether it’s our Young People’s groups where we discuss topics such as bullying or self-harm, or a one to one session in which we offer advice and support on domestic abuse or mental health needs, we work with between 250-300 children and young people and between 40-60 adults per year.

Brighter Lives North West is a friendly place where you will feel safe and welcome amongst like minded individuals.

You are not alone.

Let’s get started!

We spend most of the week out and about in the community, visiting primary and secondary schools on a daily basis as well as colleges, town halls and other community centres.

On Tuesday evenings we run our Young People’s group for 11-18 year olds at our Valley Street base from 5:30- 7pm. If you’re coming along for the first time, please come a little earlier so that we can take your details.

If you’d like to speak to us, you can call us on 07925 726855 from Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm or send us an email any time contact@brighterlivesnorthwest.co.uk.
