Blackburn and Darwen
Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is delighted to announce that CEI Solutions has joined its
growing Patron network, providing vital financial support to help the charity continue
delivering life-changing opportunities for young people across the borough.
CEI Solutions joins a network of more than 80 like-minded business leaders and
organisations who share a commitment to investing in the future of young people and
strengthening the local community.
As a Patron, CEI Solutions’ support will contribute towards the core running costs of
Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, helping the charity provide a safe, welcoming and inspiring
environment where young people can develop their skills, confidence, health and
aspirations.
The Youth Zone supports thousands of young people every year, providing access to a wide
range of activities, including sport, arts, wellbeing, skills development, employability and
opportunities to build positive relationships.
Paul Evans, Director at CEI Solutions and a committee member of the B&DYZ
Business Development Private Sector board, said:
“We are delighted to become a Patron of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone and
to support an organisation that makes such a positive difference to young
people across our local community. Investing in young people is an investment
in the future of Blackburn and Darwen, and we are proud to play our part.
“The Youth Zone provides young people with opportunities to build confidence,
develop new skills and realise their potential. We are also pleased to be joining
a network of over 80 like-minded businesses and leaders who share a passion
for supporting our community and creating positive opportunities for the next
generation.”
Leon Crosby, Chief Executive of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone, said:
“We are delighted to welcome CEI Solutions to our Patron network. The support
of local businesses is absolutely vital to the future of the Youth Zone and
enables us to continue providing opportunities that can make a lasting difference
to young people’s lives.
“CEI Solutions joins a fantastic network of more than 80 businesses that are
committed to making a positive difference across Blackburn and Darwen. We
are incredibly grateful for their support and look forward to working closely with
the team and showing them the impact their investment is having.”
The Youth Zone’s Patron network plays a crucial role in sustaining the charity’s work.
Patrons not only provide essential financial support but also become part of a community of
businesses committed to helping young people reach their full potential.
Through the network, businesses have opportunities to engage directly with the Youth Zone,
meet young people, support events and activities, and connect with other business leaders
who share their commitment to the local community.
CEI Solutions’ decision to become a Patron further demonstrates the important role that
local businesses can play in creating a brighter future for young people across Blackburn
and Darwen.
