There are lots of ways that you can get involved with Blackpool HAZ.
CREATIVES
As part of the preparation for the HAZ Cultural Programme, the Council commissioned a creative mapping exercise which brought together members of the creative community from a range of different backgrounds.
Out of this work came a number of clear messages from the local creative community around willingness to share skills and knowledge and a desire to see more local commissioning.
As a result of this we are pleased to offer a number of opportunities that highlight the work of Fylde Coast creatives and capture that desire to share skills and deliver on the commitment to commission fairly and locally.

Join the consortium groups
The HAZ consortium is made up of members from Blackpool-based heritage groups with a track record of local community and conservation project delivery.
The Winter Gardens Trust
The Winter Gardens Trust was set up to raise awareness of the significance of the spectacular grade II* listed Blackpool Winter Gardens and to support its repair and restoration. They do this through a range of different fundraising activities.
They want more people to use the building, both as a public space and as a place for special events. They work closely with the operators and the Council to ensure that the public have the best possible access. They also ensure that information on the history and development of the building is available on site, so visitors can better understand what’s important about the building and its past.
Friends of the Grand
The Friends of The Grand was formed in 1973 to save Blackpool’s Grand Theatre from demolition. They are an independent organisation that provides financial and voluntary support to the theatre. Early Friends included Violet Carson (Ena Sharples), Alistair Cooke, Ken Dodd, Leslie Crowther, Tim West and Prunella Scales, Billy Pearce and Johnnie Casson.
Over the last twenty-five years, The Friends have contributed in excess of one million pounds towards projects including the provision of new carpets, seating and technical equipment.
