Fishwick Rangers

Fishwick Rangers Youth Development Scheme is a youth and community registered charity operating in the most disadvantaged wards of Lancashire.

Established for the last seven years Fishwick Rangers has a proven track-record of facilitating and delivering high quality services and projects for disadvantaged people. As a local voluntary organisation, they are able to be flexible and responsive to local need and on-going review of activities with service users backing this up. 

The organisation has grown from a small start-up organisation to a fully functional purpose-built organisation catering for the needs of the entire community. Fishwick now has financial growth maintained by a sound financial base including contributions from a very active community and local businesses. 

The organisation provides new and diverse interests and activities for young and elderly people, so they are diverted away from crime and drugs. It also aims to provide them with enjoyment and satisfaction, giving the opportunity to be part of the community. The scheme will enable them to gain key skills in teamwork, communication and build self-confidence.
