YOUNGSTERS in East Lancashire are being urged to do the business - by coming up with entrepreneurial ideas.

A new advertising campaign has been launched through the East Lancashire Business Link aimed at 14- to 24-year-olds.

Adverts on Blackburn buses have begun to circulate across the area.

The Alchemy Club is aimed at finding new ideas from youngsters and turning them into business ideas. John Cotton of the Business Link said: "This is to encourage young people to look at the world of business in a new way.

"They often have ideas but don't always have the courage to follow them through. This club is about showing the alternatives and how being self-employed can have its advantages. We will also be going round schools to spread the word."
