It is a community resource to enable the people of Blackburn with Darwen to:

The site builds on the Local Strategic Partnership’s Belonging to Blackburn with Darwen campaign. The aim of this campaign is to promote pride in the Borough and a sense of shared future among the people who live here. The campaign highlights the positive contributions which people from many walks of life and different backgrounds have made to the life of our area.
The Charter of Belonging to Blackburn with Darwen sums up the campaign pledges:-
- intend to live together in harmony being aware of what we have in common and what brings us together
- celebrate our history, differences in cultures and faiths and the wide range of people in the borough
- recognise that everyone has equal rights and value everyone who visits, lives or works here
- will reject racism, prejudice and violence
The campaign highlights what we all have in common and what unites us. Fundamentally these include the wish to live in peace and security together, to have a decent standard of living, a fair share of resources, equal chances in life and good health.
