Funding £1,000 from the O2 It's your Community Award
Aim To get young people to interact with older generations while making a difference to their community - Young people involved in Nacro's youth inclusion project (YIP) in south west Burnley spent a day turning a bare patch of land into a garden.

The group of 20 young people consisted not just of those involved in the YIP but their friends and families too.
