Facilities include a canteen, basketball courts, covered football pitch, climbing walls, dance studio, fully-equipped gym, live music room, electronic music room and a gaming room.

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) project delivered at the Academy for Skills & Knowledge (ASK), Samlesbury is a key feature of supporting and engaging Blackburn Youth Zone members.

Nigel Davies, principal, academy for skills and Knowledge, BAE Systems said: “BAE Systems is really proud to be a patron of Blackburn Youth Zone, the ASK is a key feature by delivering STEM workshops for Blackburn Youth Zone members.

Raz Mohammed, chief executive of Blackburn Youth Zone said: “The Youth Zone and BAE Systems share a common interest: supporting and inspiring young people to realise and reach their potential. The STEM courses, in particular, give opportunities to young people who would not normally be able to experience engineering projects such as this.
