The Preston-based firm was hired to supply and install some eye-catching graphics to liven up the premises and make it a friendly environment.

Six impressive wall graphics were printed and placed in dedicated zones including the dance studio, computer room and sports hall.

Some of the walls were painted concrete blocks, meaning Lustalux had to print the graphics on to vinyl which is specially designed to heat mould onto rough surfaces.

The smooth walls were applied with standard printed and laminated vinyl.

Richard Lancaster, managing director of Lustalux, said: “We were delighted when Lancashire County Council’s Young People’s Service came to us to with their plans to refurbish the local young people’s centres.

“We’ve seen a significant increase in demand for wall art in recent years.

“With our ability to print onto various substrate using UV and solvent ink printers, the scope for our graphics is huge and we hope that everyone enjoys them!”

Since it opened in February, 1,203 young people have attended the £1.5 million Youth Zone a total of 9,034 times.

The Youth Zone provides a space for young people to meet and participate in leisure activities as well as improve their wellbeing and it offers additional support to those young people who may be more vulnerable, or have significant personal barriers in their lives.

And Lancashire County Council has recently invested £1,598,215 into centres in Burnley and Thornton to further help 13-19-year-olds in the area and provide a fun, safe , supportive place to go.
