Lattice
Works is designed to connect with other support available to the voluntary
and community sectors and not duplicate existing services. We are working
closely with Lancaster District CVS (LDCVS), Social Enterprise Lancashire
Network(SELNET) and the members of the North Lancashire Social Enterprise
network(NLSE) to fill gaps and add in extra support options. We are establishing
a social enterprise stakeholder reference group to help guide our work.
Lattice
Works is funded by Lancaster District Local Strategic Partnership. Delivered
by Shared Future CIC in partnership with Help Direct, it seeks to provide
accessible practical support, including where necessary small scale financial
help.
