FINALISTS REVEALED
We’re excited to announce the finalists for the 1V Awards Dinner 2026, Blackburn’s biggest celebration of community excellence, organised by One Voice Blackburn. After a break last year, the awards are back and promise an unforgettable evening recognising the incredible people and groups making a difference across our borough.
The event will take place on 28 March 2026 at the newly renovated Exchange Building, one of Blackburn’s most iconic venues. Over 400 guests will gather to celebrate individuals and organisations who go above and beyond to strengthen communities and improve lives.
