In the charity's own words
Blackburn United engages with young people aged 4 to adults, predominantly residing from Blackburn, to provide sporting activities. Many of the children have not taken part in sport at this level before. With this in mind, the club in the past couple of years has put in place several initiatives to ensure that young people are able to fulfil their potential and skill in a competitive context.
