We’re looking forward to next year, making it even bigger and better.” Hannah Allen, Chief Executive of the Blackburn Youth zone said “On behalf of the team at Blackburn Youth Zone, I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone involved for your generosity and support in making this fundraising event a success.
