Living with cerebral palsy presents daily challenges, but five years ago Sam took the first step on a life-changing journey when he joined the wheelchair rugby sessions run by Fylde RFCF.

Today, Sam credits that support network with helping him become the person he is now.

Watch Sam share his story and explain how community-based support has made a profound difference in his life.

At Community Foundation for Lancashire, we fund hundreds of local charities every year, helping thousands of people across the county access the support and opportunities they need to thrive.

Stories like Sam’s are only possible because of the generosity of our donors who invest in local communities.

If you’d like to find out more about how you can support people across Lancashire, we’d love to hear from you.
