Hello,

As part of the proposals to reduce the Supporting People budget from 1st April 2015, the supporting people team will be holding consultation events which will offer those with an interest in housing support services the opportunity to contribute to the reconfiguration of housing support services in Lancashire.

The following consultation sessions have been scheduled:

· Floating Support Consultation Event

Thursday 11 September (The Tudor Room, County Hall, Preston) 2pm

· Older People Consultation Event

Thursday 18 September (Woodlands Conference Centre, Chorley) Times to be confirmed

· Supported Lodgings Consultation Event

Thursday 26 September (Woodlands Conference Centre, Chorley) Times to be confirmed

Please keep these dates available and we will confirm the details of the events nearer the time.

Please could you confirm if you are planning to attend a consultation event by Wednesday 27 August 2014 (please email Wayne Roberts, and specify in the email subject line which event(s) you are planning to attend). Due to limitations on space we may need to limit the number of representatives for each organisation and therefore it would be helpful if you would list any potential representatives in order of priority.

If you are not able to attend the consultation events but would like to express your views about the proposals you can use the links below which will take you to the proposal reports and a link to the online consultation:
