THE Lancashire Telegraph is calling on people to revolutionise the lives of Blackburn’s youngsters by training them to be young leaders.
Our campaign aims to raise £60,000 to invest in our town’s future by providing 100 ‘teen leaders’ at Blackburn’s £6million Youth Zone.
The state-of-the-art club, in Jubilee Street, has embedded itself into the heart of the community since opening in June 2012 and boasts more than 3,500 members.
The Youth Zone already has 15 young leaders, who have led teams on community projects and acted as positive role models for their peers.
With your support, we want to develop the Young Leaders’ programme and give youngsters access to weekly workshops, work experience, accredited short courses, key resources, and a recognised qualification.
You can donate by sending a cheque to Blackburn Youth Zone, Jubilee Street, Blackburn, BB1 1EP, by calling 01254 292001, or by texting BYZA01 and the amount you would like to donate (either £2, £5, £10, or £20) to 70070. For example, to donate £5, text BYZA01£5 to 70070.
