Help get Joseph and Louis to Gibraltar for worlds

Aim

We want to raise some funds to help Joseph and Louis get to Gibraltar after they have qualified for the junior world championships

Who are we?

Blackburn Youth Darts Academy along with Darts Plus, provides opportunities and support to Youth Darts players aged 6 to 18yrs. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

2 of our students 14 Yr old Joseph Westby and 15 year old Louis Jones have both recently secured their Advanced tour card through the JDC Q School. As part of this they have also both qualified to compete in the 2024 Junior World Championships which takes place later in the year in Gibraltar. 

This is going to be an expensive trip for them but an opportunity they can't turn down and a chance for one of them out of all competitors to become junior world Champion. 

for this they are going to need to fund a weeks accommodation for themselves and their parents as well as flight costs and entey fees not to mention money for food and essentials. 

So as you can imagine it's expensive, but a well worth journey for these 2 talented players who have worked hard to qualify. 

so we want to help them on their journey and celebrate this wonderful achievement and success story. It would be great of we could try raise some of the money towards flights and accommodation of each child. 

Blackburn Youth Darts Academy are a non profit organisation solely ran by volunteers and are working hard to raise funds for these 2 lads but also our other 60 students. 

but, if you can help by donating just a small amount to help them as they really do deserve this we would be very grateful. 

How we’ll spend the money raised
