A Youth Zone workshop held at Workhouse Studios
Blackburn Youth Zone is a fantastic new initiative to help support young people in Blackburn. The mission of the project is…..
“to serve the social, recreational and emotional needs of young people, particularly those facing some kind of disadvantage, striving to help young people from the Blackburn with Darwen area become happy, caring and responsible citizens”
The project has received government funding of £5M and major support from Blackburn and Darwen Council, to establish a world class “Youth Zone” in the heart of the town. The project will make a real and positive difference to the young people of the borough and will be a hugely positive project for all people connected with the town.
This world-class youth facility will be based in the Cathedral Quarter, in the centre of Blackburn and will open every day, to provide support, fun and a safe environment for young people, especially those whose home life doesn’t provide it for them.
Workhouse Marketing is providing it’s services foc and is 100% behind this project. We’re currently working closely with a focus group made up of councillors, young people, youth workers and business leaders to develop hardworking marketing strategies to support fundraising and build awareness. Support from the local business community is crucial to the success of Blackburn Youth Zone and if you’d like to hear more about it or would like to get involved, please do get in touch with us.
Here’s how the Lancashire Evening Telegraph reported the launch of Youth Zone.
