Community Futures aims to develop and support balanced and sustainable communities throughout Lancashire.

It was founded in 1934 in Manchester with the aim of relieving poverty during the depression years. The activity of the organisation has changed over time, but the focus has always been on the provision of services to support, develop and sustain community life.
