Today's poverty stats from the DWP are horrendous.

4.3 million children in relative poverty - the highest ever
3.6 million children in absolute poverty - up 300k

2.2 million children living in 'food insecure' households
820k children living in households that use foodbanks

This promises to be a great event in support of M3 Project. We'd love to see you there.

The Tilbury Douglas team are excited to be partnering M3 Project to support homeless and vulnerable young people in East Lancashire Rossendale Borough Council Lancashire County Council

Delighted to have been approached by Tilbury Douglas North West to discuss how they can support our work with homeless and vulnerable young people during the construction of All Saints' Catholic High School in Rawtenstall.

It's soup weather! What's your favourite?

Our Charity Officer Jayne has ditched the home prepared salad and cheated by opening a tin of vegetable soup for lunch today.

Why young people struggle to 'get on the property ladder' ...

20 years of Rossendale's M3 Project
Thank you for all you do for our young people.
Nice to be with you this morning to recognise 20 years of outstanding work.

Thank you to the staff, customers and Community Champions at Rawtenstall and Haslingden Tesco for the kind donation of cleaning products for our Teenage Family Project. Our young Mums are struggling with the cost of living so these cleaning packs will be really appreciated.

Attended Trauma Informed Training today delivered by Karen Welsh for Lancashire Violence Reduction Network.

So much to 'take away' including the lasting impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, the 4 qualities of empathy and how professional curiosity saves lives.

A day well spent. Thank you.

On this #InternationalDayOfCharity we would like to thank our Lodgings Hosts, our Grant Funders, our Trustees, those who donate and everyone who supports us. You have made a difference in the lives of hundreds of homeless young people in the 20 years since we were established.

Very grateful yet again to everyone at Rawtenstall Tesco for the donation of duvet sets, washing powder, toothbrushes and loo roll. All things that we were running short of. We are welcoming 5 new young people to M3 over the next couple of weeks.

We're excited for 3 of our young Mums who are getting ready to move into a place of their own within the next few weeks. Many thanks to Craig of Craig Atkinson Removals who called in today with a donation of flat packed boxes so they can start packing up their belongings.

If you have an empty room in your house and a desire to make a difference please get in touch. Our Supported Lodgings scheme needs more people living in Burnley and Hyndburn who can offer a home and hope for young people who have experienced family breakdown.

Please share.
