Analysis: Three areas of Church fall within the bottom 10% of Super Output Areas nationally and the percentage NEET was above average at 10.8%. Those claiming Job Seekers Allowance in Church was over double the Lancashire average at 6% One third of school children in Church qualified for free school meals, well above the Lancashire average of one in five.

  • An Overview of the Prospects Foundation's Social Enterprise
    An overview of the Prospects Foundation’s Social Enterprise Development Programme Brief background to our Social Enterprise Programme In 2007, The Prospects Foundation, Hyndburn’s environmental charity, was successful in a funding bid to the Big Lottery’s Fair Share fund. The aim of the programme was to work with local people, primarily from the Hyndburn ‘Fair Share’ wards of Barnfield, Central, Church, Peel & Springhill, to identify, develop and eventually set up environmentally-themed social enterprises. The programme ran from February 2008 until November 2011. However, the work continues.... How we did it At the start of the programme the Social Enterprise Enterprise Officer met with 45 Hyndburn based community groups and organisations to try and identify possible environmentally-themed social enterprise ideas. From this consultation process a total of 16 fledgling ideas were identified. Each of these ideas was then assessed for ‘robustness’ by a panel of experts from the voluntary, charity and social enterprise sector in east Lancashire. Eight A visit to a food growing of the strongest ideas were progressed to the next enterprise in Manchester phase of development. Again, after a period of development with the group concerned the eight were assessed again and the final four were selected for development to a stage where they could be set up as social enterprises. Once the final four ideas had been selected, volunteers from each idea took part in a range of training courses relevant to their own idea. This was also complemented by a 10-week ITEC Certificate in Business Management. Who was involved What we wanted to do was to try and involve as many local people as possible in the idea generation process and then in the setting up phase.
