Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is a purpose-built, safe space for young people aged 0–25 providing them somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to. We provide free membership, free entry, and free hot meals, ensuring no young person's needs are met. From sports and creative arts to mentoring and employability support, everything we offer is designed to unlock potential and create real opportunities.

Why run for us?
Running for Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is about more than completing a race; it’s about helping us continue to support young people when they need it most. Every pound raised helps keep our doors open and our services accessible. When you join #TeamYouthZone, you’ll receive a branded running vest or t-shirt, cheer support on the day where possible, and the chance to be part of something meaningful.
