In the last 12 months alone, we have provided 32,568 free hot meals to young people, at a cost of £113,988. Our goal is to raise £10,000 during the month of October through our “Paint the Town Orange” campaign, supporting Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone. We are calling on local businesses and communities to come together to fundraise and make a real difference for young people in our area.
Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone plays a vital role in providing opportunities, support, and a safe space for youth to thrive, and your contributions will help sustain these efforts. We need your support to ensure we can continue offering essential programmes that positively impact the lives of our future generations. Let’s unite to make this campaign a success!
Due to the recent change in government, the provisions we have in place to offer free meals to our young people now hang in the balance. Many of the young people we serve rely on these meals, and we want to ensure that this crucial support continues.
Your help during our “Paint the Town Orange” campaign is more important than ever, as it will allow us to continue providing free meals to those who need them most. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of young people in Blackburn & Darwen.
