By wearing a sweater you can make things better and support your local charity
“Blackburn Youth Zone wants to bring the town together this Christmas to support local young people and their families. Schools and Corporates get the chance to wear their cheesiest Christmas Jumper on 7th December to raise money for Blackburn Youth Zone’s weekly ‘Eat Together’. ‘Eat Together runs at the Youth Zone every Saturday from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm and provides hot meals for local families.
The Youth Zone has taken this initiative to help families in need and aim to raise funds to keep this session running not only throughout the Festive period but for the whole of 2019. 17,000 free lunches were given out over the summer in Blackburn and so the Youth Zone’s Eat Together is helping to tackle local food poverty as well as providing a vibrant and welcoming environment for the community to come together.”
If you wish to take part in Blackburn Youth Zone ‘Christmas Jumper Day’ please email melanie.thomas@blackburnyz.org or call 01254 292000.
