Building the aspirations of our young people and women is a key focus of One Voice Blackburn’s work. We give our members the opportunity to lead on group activities, to become volunteers and take on coaching roles within our organisation. We support girls and young women to become female sports coaches and gain accreditations in sports leadership. We also offer our young people the opportunity to gain accreditations through our arts and heritage projects which they would not be able to access through school.

Our 2020 Vision group offer our young members the opportunity to develop their leadership skills further and deliver social action programmes tackling issues that are important to them as young people growing up in Blackburn with Darwen. They also lead on our events with planning and execution.
