YOUNG people from Blackburn Youth Zone are planning to offer a wrapping service for shoppers in The Mall Blackburn in the run-up to Christmas.

In return for a donation to the Teen Leaders campaign, enterprising young people are offering to take the drudgery out of wrapping presents.

So busy shoppers, and those who are all fingers and thumbs have to do, is take them home and write a label before handing them over on the big day.

Right, Youth Zone young leader, 18-year-old Connor Buller gets in a little practice by wrapping up Sam Ali, 19, ahead of the hoped-for rush for the service.
