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.
Blackpool South MP Gordon Marsden dropped in on a seminar showcasing an online careers package that’s been developed to identify and support students who are at risk of dropping out of college.

Staff at Blackburn Connexions Centre shed a little extra light on charity fundraising when they organised a bring-a-bulb-to-work day in aid of Nightsafe.
The team collected scores of energy-saving light bulbs to donate to the Blackburn-based project that provides holistic services to homeless young people. Nightsafe is CXL's adopted charity for 2008/09.
