Pierce Hosts Blackburn Darwen Youth Zone Quiz

Bringing local businesses together to raise funds and support opportunities for young people across Blackburn and Darwen.

We were delighted to host the Blackburn Darwen Youth Zone Annual Quiz at Accrington Stanley FC, bringing together businesses from across the local community for an evening of fun, friendly competition and fundraising in support of a fantastic local cause.

Taking over the reins from Cummins Mellor, we were proud to continue this annual event, welcoming 31 teams of four for an evening of teamwork, laughter and friendly competition. Guests enjoyed the opportunity to test their knowledge, connect with other local businesses and take part in the fundraising efforts, with a fantastic selection of prizes up for grabs.

Supporting young people across Blackburn and Darwen

Blackburn Darwen Youth Zone provides young people with opportunities to build confidence, develop new skills, form friendships and take part in positive activities in a safe and supportive environment.

We’re proud to help bring the local business community together to support this work, and the quiz provided a great opportunity to raise funds while enjoying an evening with fellow businesses.

Together, we raised £13,533.80 in support of Blackburn Darwen Youth Zone.

Tamara Hitchen, Fundraising & Stewardship Manager at Blackburn Youth Zone, said:

“It was fantastic to see Pierce take over hosting our annual quiz for the first time and deliver such an incredible evening. The atmosphere was brilliant, and the amount raised will make a real difference to the young people we support at Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone. We’re hugely grateful to the whole team at Pierce for getting behind the event and helping make it such a success. It’s partnerships like this that help us continue providing a safe, inspiring place for young people across Blackburn and Darwen to belong, grow and thrive.”
