Neighbourhood Youth Offer
The NYO is a BwD council funded youth work programme that is delivered in venues around Blackburn.
What do we do?
The programme itself is developed using key youth work principles and developed in line with the National Youth Work curriculum and delivered by trained youth work staff.
The NYO delivers weekly junior (8 - 12yrs) and senior (13 - 18yrs) sessions, offering age appropriate, enriching activities that aim to increase confidence, develop life skills, build positive relationships and most importantly, providing a safe environment for children and young people to have fun.

I’m Andrew, the Deputy Service Manager at Young Peoples Services – my main role involves managing HAF, external commissions, projects including detached work and internal oversight of SEND and Participation. Away from work I enjoy gardening, walking and looking after my dog Bowie. I spend most weekends being disappointed by Everton Football Club – Up the Toffees.
