A ‘Community Challenge’ PowerPoint presentation by Jenna Walmsley, Chris Daley, Holly Archer and Tom Quinn of University Centre Blackburn College (UCBC), focusing on potential local developments in the Blackburn with Darwen area (for young people), with the ‘somewhereto’ organisation.

1. A space for youth: http://somewhereto.com is a charitable organisation that
exists to help young people find unused local spaces and places, which
they can then repurpose in order to engage in activities related to sport,
culture and the arts. The local branch of somewhereto wishes to
commission a small-scale piece of research, to find out: what local places
are available; how they can be matched-up to the interests of local youths;
and, any issues/barriers that they may come-up against.
