Neu Way Support
Launch of new support service for families of children and young people with neurodevelopmental needs. We are delighted to inform you that from 6 July, families across Lancashire and South Cumbria will be able to access Neu Way Support, a new service for families of children and young people aged 0 to 25 who may have autism, ADHD or other neurodevelopmental differences.
The service is available based on need, which means you do not need a diagnosis to get support.
Neu Way Support is available for families of children and young people aged 0 to 25 who:
- Have concerns about autism, ADHD or other neurodevelopmental differences
- Are waiting for an assessment
- Have recently received a diagnosis
- Would benefit from information, advice or support to help navigate services

Blackpool Carers Strategy 2023 to 2028.
This strategy covers adult carers in Blackpool. An adult carer is adult who provides or intends to provide care for another adult. This document sets out how Blackpool Council will work together with key stakeholders over the next five years to: identify and support all unpaid carers across Blackpool; address gaps in current support for carers, reducing the pressures of caring by encouraging carers to take breaks and enabling carers to lead fulfilled, independent lives.
