The shadow skills and higher education minister said: “This programme has been jointly hosted by Lancashire Fire and Rescue and the Prince’s Trust and is a powerful and longstanding opportunity, which I have supported over the years for young people across Blackpool to get on the right work and career pathways.

“I was particularly impressed by the strong testimonies and by their wishes to go on and volunteer, seek further training, go to university or do an apprenticeship.”

Lancashire Fire and Rescue and Prince’s Trust are now on the search for applicants to apply for Team 73 with the next programme starting Monday, September 10.
