Councillor Margaret Lishman, Executive Member for Health and Wellbeing, added: “In tribute to His Majesty The King’s public service, we also want to support The Big Help Out. This is about encouraging people to try volunteering. We hope to create a lasting volunteering legacy from the coronation weekend because the benefits to society and to the individual volunteer are so great.

"The Burnley Pendle and Rossendale Council for Voluntary Services based at Yorkshire Street or Gannow Community Centre can help connect new volunteers to voluntary groups “

To receive the grant applicants must live in Burnley and the party must take place in the borough on the coronation weekend.
