About Listing
The Linden Centre, based at Trinity Hospice in Blackpool, offers counselling and support to those adults and children facing the terminal illness of someone close, or who have been bereaved through terminal illness. Adults are offered one to one counselling, or they can access Coastal, an adult group bereavement programme, which is also suitable for anyone whose children are accessing Cascade or who feels they need something different to counselling. They also offer a Companion scheme, where trained volunteers from the Linden Centre offer their time to give informal support to people across the Fylde who are living with cancer or a life threatening illness, or who are bereaved. CASCADE (Child and Adolescent Support and Counselling Around Death Experience) is a counselling service for any child from the age of five living in Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde who has a close member of their family coping with a terminal illness, or who is bereaved of someone close to them, for any reason whatsoever.
