Fylde Coast Resilience is focused on making a difference in the region by bringing the VCFSE as well as the private and public sectors together to provide knowledge, information and support to businesses and organisations, helping them to make positive, powerful connections though the expertise of others within their community. We also welcome would-be and established entrepreneurs that are looking to start a new business or community organisation.

Unlike traditional ‘networking’ groups, we don’t have time-consuming presentation agendas that prevent attendees from talking with each other. Tell any of us in the organising team what you need and we’ll see if we can help you by making useful introductions, hopefully right there at one of our meetings. We don’t expect referrals, set targets or make any demands from attendees. Together we intend to support our community, re-shape business and create sustainable, successful futures for us all. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, contact us today and we’ll let you have full details of our events calendar.

Our networking group is open to EVERYONE, but especially:

  • • VCFSE (3rd sector) professionals
  • • Public sector representatives
  • • Non-profit orgs, CICs, faith groups, charities, etc.
  • • Entrepreneurs
  • • Small business owners
  • • Business startups
  • • All other ‘community oriented’ volunteer groups and individuals.

new venue!

We all loved Mandus House but it has been closed for the foreseeable future. Our new venue is also a fabulous facility: N-Vision, Sharples Hall, Bosworth Place, Squires Gate, Blackpool, FY4 1SH. There's still no cost to attend and plenty of free tea and coffee. As always, no commitment is required, so there's nothing to prevent you from joining us at our next meeting!
