Blackpool's fundraiser for Empowerment Charity Lancashire

Blackpool Sixth is raising money for Empowerment Charity Lancashire

We are taking on a 22-mile walk, carrying 50 balloons. · 10 March 2026

Empowerment's vision is to work alongside people in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast who feel they have no voice and are not listened to; so that they are empowered to bring about real and positive change to their own lives and the lives of others.

Story

We are taking on a 22-mile walk with one clear purpose: to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health support in Blackpool. Along the way, we will visit and highlight charities that work tirelessly to support those struggling with their mental health, showing our solidarity and commitment to a cause that affects so many lives.

During the walk, we will carry 50 balloons. Each balloon represents one of the 50 men who have tragically lost their lives to suicide in Blackpool over the past three years. This walk is not just a physical challenge—it is a moment of remembrance, reflection, and a powerful statement that these lives mattered and will not be forgotten.

We have chosen to support Elliot’s Place because it addresses a major and ongoing mental health crisis within Blackpool—one that has touched almost every family, friend group, and community in the area. Their work provides hope, understanding, and support where it is desperately needed.

By donating, you are helping to break the stigma around mental health, support life-saving services, and show those who are struggling that they are not alone. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a difference.

Thank you for your support
