End of the line for Burnley training company (From This Is Lancashire)

I don't know whether it did a good job or not, but why keep recruiting for the military when so many are being made redundant?

Because it gave youngsters a sense of purpose and belonging who had not a lot else in their life. It's more likely that since there is a large muslim population in the area that would not use this facility as they have no interest in joining anything to do with the british military that it is going to the wall.

My Grandfather was a Muslim and he fought for Britain in WW2 and my Great Grandfather was also a Muslim and he fought for Britain in WW1 along with the other hundreds and thousands of Muslims who fought for Britain in both World Wars so Muslims are more than ready to fight for Britain but were not happy to join the Army whilst the government send the troops into foreign countries (usually Muslim) to wage illegal war after illegal war for oil.

Didn't know that but nevertheless those numbers are dwarfed by the 400,000 Muslims who fought for Britain in WW1 and 700,000 Muslims who fought for Britain in WW2.

By the way what does this have to do with me? My ancestors were in the British Army NOT the German Army!

Unlucky Mr Hitchcock. I wondered how long you'd be able to keep running once the MOD stopped paying for everything you took credit for.
A good concept that was sure to fail once they centralised recruiting to Preston for the whole of Lancashire.

Not unlucky Mr. Hitchcock! Unlucky staff who worked hard to make a difference to the young people and always going that extra mile, I had the pleasure of working with all centres and what an absolutely fantastic bunch they were, remaining professional and dignified even when they found out they were not getting paid!! You will all be missed.

Avenir did great work, often with difficult youngsters. It is a shame that the company has closed. A good many of the young adults had passed through the traditional school education system and yet come out with very little before entering Avenir. The education given at Avenir, together with Staff encouragement, made a difference to their lives. They would often come in as children who were disaffected, aimless, unfit and bored and go out with some purpose. Many returned when they were in the Army to thank the Staff. They returned as tax paying, purposeful people who had found a direction in life. This is nothing to do with race or religion. It's all about lack of funding for courses such as these, coupled the education system turning out apathetic teenagers because they too do not the resources to engage difficult children effectively.
