Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is thrilled to announce that Blackburn Round Table, a prominent community organization, has joined its network as a Patron.
Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is a vibrant and dynamic young person’s charity that tirelessly works to empower children and young people aged 8 to 19 (up to 25 for those with disabilities). With over 4,500 members, the Youth Zone offers an array of activities and exciting opportunities, aiming to improve the life chances and prospects of local young individuals, preparing them for a successful life journey.
