About Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone

Blackburn and Darwen Youth Zone is located at the heart of Blackburn, built on land where, 100 years ago, Blackburn’s first electricity generating station once stood. On the place where electricity first came to and powered the town, the Youth Zone is now powering the community through the energy and creativity of young people.

It's Blackburn's most important development for years, an excellent example of public/ private-sector partnership
