Welcome to Blackpool's Resilience Revolution...
The Resilience Revolution is a mix of people from across the town… basically anyone who lives, works or volunteers in Blackpool is invited to join us and come together to work out how to build a resilient town to grow up, live, work and thrive in. In the Resillience Revolution we use the Resilience Framework to help ourselves, others and communities build resilience and challenge adversity.
Young people are at the centre of the Resilience Revolution. They have been co-leading many projects such as the Resilience Pathway which you may have seen leading down to Blackpool promenade. You can find out more about what young people have been doing as part of the Revolution in the blog posts on this website and the Resilience Revolution social media channels and website.
But what does the Resilience Revolution actually mean?
Life can be a challenge for lots of different reasons, for some more than others. We want everyone to have the opportunity to learn more about what they can do to overcome these challenges and thrive, for themselves and others (building individual and community resilience) …AND we want to challenge and change the things that make life difficult in the first place (reducing inequalities). We call this:
"Beating the odds while also changing the odds."
Here’s how young people describe the Resilience Revolution:
