Podcast: Kelly on The Voices of One Fylde


The Voices of One Fylde: Shining a Light With Kelly Mercer (04.06.25)
The Voices of One Fylde: Shining a Light With Kelly Mercer (04.06.25)

We were thrilled when Kelly was offered the opportunity to be interviewed by the Voices of One Fylde radio so that her story could be shared. One Fylde is a community-led charity which provides support and housing to people with learning disabilities across Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde. It boasts many services and activities including its own radio station hosted by local people who have lived experience of receiving services.


With support from Producer Darran, Marylin and Bex interviewed Kelly on a whole host of topics including what it means to really listen. Kelly spoke of how she has been able to cherry-pick the best parts of her social work practice and combine these with a coaching style of delivery. This is what has led to programmes such as Becoming More Me and Time to Shine to have such great results.


Kelly says "there's more to life that simply having your basic needs met. We want people to shine, thrive and work towards becoming their best, possible selves". Hearing Bex and Marylin agree with Kelly's take on how service delivery could improve was refreshing. It's conversations like these that reinforce the importance of self-development and value-based work in supporting the communities to thrive.


Please listen to and share this episode. We'd also love to hear your feedback!
