A community group is hosting a special workshop in Blackburn and is inviting people of all faiths and backgrounds to attend.

The "Let’s Break the Barriers" event is taking place at the Ivy Community Centre on Ivy Close on Wednesday, January 25 from noon.

Chairperson of the BTM Global group, Sumaira Farrukh said: "We wanted to get people together from different communities and help to break down any misconceptions people may have.

"It is important to be proactive and raise awareness of issues that people may be faced with.

"The group is also aiming to look at drug abuse awareness, mental health and support for people during the cost of living crisis.
