The Base on Broadfield
Welcome to The Base - Key's community centre serving the Broadfield estate and surrounding areas in Leyland.
We're here at the very heart of the community, providing support that local people have identified they want and need. Our approach is simple: we're committed to community engagement, never judging anyone who walks through our doors, and never promising anything we can't deliver.
We see everyone as part of our community. Whether you're struggling with the cost of living, dealing with addiction, caring for family members, or simply need someone to talk to - you'll find a warm welcome here without any judgment.
Community-powered support: our 27 active volunteers work alongside dedicated staff who understand that sometimes people just need someone to listen and believe in them.
Flexible, person-centered approach: we adapt to what each person needs, whether that's practical help, emotional support, or just a safe space to be yourself.
