Young people from Blackburn with Darwen were awarded certificates of achievement for successfully completing courses to help improve their future prospects under the Partnership Works Project (PWP).

PWP is a joint initiative between Blackburn College, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, CXL, the Learning and Skills Council, the NHS, Training 2000 and other local partners to help raise achievement among 16-19 year olds in the borough.

Around 40 young mums who took part in PWP’s Young Mums To Be and Parents With Prospects schemes were in attendance at the ceremony along with the first cohort of young people to have completed PWP’s football coaching programme in association with the Lancashire Football Association.
