Congratulations to our chair of trustees & founder Mick Gray on his 'Champion of Change' award from @Rotary, so well deserved for his hard work to launch and establish the service. Mick & other trustees also recently welcomed @CatSmithMP to see the chairs & meet some of visitors.
A few weeks ago we were invited to take part in some filming for the @MarketingLancs promotion 'Rediscover Lancashire and Escape The Everyday - accessible ideas'. You can watch this at bit.ly/VisitLancsAccessible
Thank you to the Simpson family for this terrific video of their recent visit. It perfectly sums up a day on the beach! @BBCLancashire @BBCNWT @GranadaReports @FleetwoodWeekly @The_Gazette @visitfyldecoast
As a volunteer with us we can promise you'll get a tremendous sense of pride & enjoyment from your kindly-donated time.
We can't always promise that you'll meet a dinosaur but you never know ... our David had a close encounter today when he helped Alice have a great day out!
A lovely BH w/e ahead for Fleetwood! We have volunteers at our Wheelbase, Central Prom today, Sun & Mon: 10am-4pm. Please call by to hire a chair, for information or to ask about volunteering. To book in advance, particularly on midweek days, call 03000111003. Enjoy your weekend!
There's some great activities and events here. We often see huge kites being flown over Central Beach so the Beach School event at Rossall Point on June 4th looks great ... you can learn how to make your own, slightly smaller kite!
Our latest round up of events and activities for this half term and June for all the family. All activities must be booked. Please contact Visit Garstang on 01995 602125 or email [email protected] to book your space.bit.ly/HTJuneevents
