Blackburn's 12 days of Christmas: What makes the town so great this time of year
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me - a countdown of Blackburn's most festive offerings.
Until 31 December, families can enjoy a fun and festive trail organised by Blackburn's Business Improvement District . The hunt features loveable models and selfie zones, with gingerbread models scattered around Blackburn town centre. The company does fantastic work for families in and around Blackburn, providing presents and other items for people who are struggling to pay the bills. Every Christmas, children that benefit from the work of the company receive a sack filled with seven presents, all with a specific purpose.
Every December since 2012, millions across the UK put on a festive outfit to wear in their workplace, school or just at home. By doing so, people donate £2 to Save the Children which goes towards making the world better for children in the country. But, with the rising cost of living, Christmas decorations can be expensive and not considered a necessity. However, we wanted to prove that it doesn't have to be this way.
Aliytah Butt, from Blackburn, said: "As a Muslim growing up in Blackburn, I always loved how the festive period served as the perfect time to allow families to reunite and spend time together. Blackburn is always filled with many holiday events and opportunities which only furthers during the winter period - creating a community where individuals of many faiths and cultures can get involved. I believe this celebration of inclusivity makes the festive period enjoyable for all.
As we're drawing to a close on our 12 Days of Blackburn-mas, we've got another small business to shine a light on. For Day 10, we're showing you Sarah Aspden Cards and Crafts - a small business where everything is handmade by owner Sarah Aspden.
