With young people’s attitudes to education and employment formed at an early age by family role models, social business CXL has launched an innovative pilot in the Shadsworth and Whitebirk areas of Blackburn, which aims to break the unemployment cycle that can exist in families, leading to young people becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).
Lancaster and Morecambe businesses are missing out by not employing young people, according to Lancashire recruitment experts CXL.
CXL’s Business and Meeting Centre has won a prestigious regional award for its first class service to customers.
Businesses in East Lancashire are set to benefit from nearly £1m to help them survive and thrive through the economic downturn.
Staff at CXL have smashed their own target by raising an amazing £3249.21 in support of their sponsored charity Nightsafe.

Young people find life behind bars ain't so sweet
10 October 2008
Young men from Blackburn with Darwen got a chance to sample life behind bars – if only for a few minutes – when Prison Officers from Lancaster Farms and other Young Offenders Institutions demonstrated a mobile prison cell at Blackburn Connexions Centre as part of Blackburn with Darwen’s Stay Safe Week (4-11 October 2008).
The week was organised by the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board (LSCB) to help spread the word that keeping young people safe is everyone’s business.
