Roy was Mr Huncoat and played a big part in most community initiatives that took place in the village including devising the Huncoat Trail, the Peace Garden, Spout House Woodlands as well as Chairing the Forum for many years. Roy passed away earlier this year and to celebrate Roy's legacy to Huncoat we'll be walking the 9.5 mile trail and we'd like to invite you to join us. We'll be starting from the Peace Garden so that people can also see the new carved stone installed in memory of Roy. The entire walk is 9.5 miles but if that seems a tad too far then please feel free to join us for the initial lower level section of the Trail which is 5 miles and includes the Canal. This first half will lead us back towards the Peace Garden where people can finish, or else continue with us onto the higher level section which takes in Hameldon Scouts and the Coppice. The 9.5 walk should take between 4 and 5 hours with plenty of rest breaks. If you'd like to come along please just turn up on the day. You can also tell us by reply e-mail so we get an idea of numbers coming. As the walk will be in November please expect cold windy weather, especially on the canal and also on the higher sections. Please wear suitable footwear, wear plenty of layers and also bring some snacks and a hot drink. START: Huncoat Peace Garden, Highergate Road, Accrington, Lancashire BB5 6LN – see map below.

  • The Prospects Foundation Annual Report
    THE PROSPECTS FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2016 - 2017 FORWARD FROM THE CHAIRMAN MISSION AND THEMES Next year in December we will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Foundation – although The PROSPECTS Foundation is Hyndburn’s community owned environmental charity and we are PROSPECTS as a whole has already passed that milestone. This means we are approaching the time to something of a unique and wonderful organisation. We were established in 1998 by local people and reflect on what we have all achieved together. But there is no time to sit back on our laurels - this year have lots of skills and environmental knowledge which we use and pass on when delivering projects we look forward to continuing the good work. around the Borough. We support a network of PROSPECTS Panels as well as schools and community groups to help them develop their own ideas to improve the environment. In the tumultuous and “interesting” political year we have just seen, the environment, as ever, has been pushed to the back seat. While President Trump rows back on US commitments to combatting climate We focus our work on 6 Themes of Sustainability, which means that our actions are not harmful to change our own Government has signalled its policy of reliance on fossil fuels by consenting fracking the environment, they take account of both local and global issues and positively contribute to the in Lancashire. Globally environmental indicators are not good – habitat loss, species extinction rates, reduction of climate change. Our 6 Themes are: ocean plastic, city air quality, loss of polar ice - you could get discouraged! BIODIVERSITY One interesting reflection though is that experience shows that giving up, just sitting back and expecting protecting and enhancing local wildlife and plant life “them” to come up with solutions is not going to get us very far.

  • Annual Report 2018 - 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 - 2019 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION Once again our annual report sets out the work of the Foundation over the past year. The charity is now into its twenty-first year and this year we will be celebrating what has been achieved over the last two decades and we will also be doing all we can to enliven the spirit of community action for the environment into the future. The charity and its staff and trustees are vital for local people and groups to maintain the momentum, but those who were involved with PROSPECTS at the start will know that there is much more to our movement than what the Foundation does. The challenge is of course greater than ever if we are to believe that action at the local level is going to make a difference. I do believe that - but the levels of external support are lower than they used to be and we are more and more reliant on our own energy and resources. PROSPECTS has always put great store by local knowledge and people’s natural aspirations to do their best for the community where they live. We continue to need new community participants and fresh ideas about what is needed around the borough. So the Foundation has embarked on an effort to re-energise the PROSPECTS Panels and generate new ideas and to attract more people to get involved. We know that it is project work that gets people interested and we will be working with the Panels, looking for fresh proposals that are meaningful to the community and which make a contribution to the environment.
