About us
We all depend on our local health and social care services and we need them to be high quality, responsive and supportive to our needs.
That's why Blackpool LINk is so important. We help local people get involved in how local services are planned and run. We're an independent voice that listens to local residents, organisations and groups and helps to influence how health and social care services operate – addressing key issues and raising quality for all.
We're interested in all health and social care services in the Blackpool area that receive public funding – so that includes NHS Blackpool, Blackpool Council, various private companies, social enterprises and charities. We're managed by Groundwork Lancashire West & Wigan on behalf of the local council which receives funding to run the LINk from the government.
By listening to what a wide variety of groups and individuals say, we can feed views back to help improve services - in ways that will benefit everyone.
If you have experience or views about how local healthcare is currently delivered, please get involved. We believe that your views are important.
