On Saturday 4 June, Blackburn Youth Zone held a special Open Family Fun Day to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

To help the festivities along, Simply Doughnuts donated 70 cartons of fresh doughnuts. All proceeds from the sales went to support the work of Blackburn Youth Zone, which provides facilities and services for young people aged 5-25.

Posting after the event on social media, organisers said “We would like to say a special THANK YOU to Simply Doughnuts for donating the doughnuts for our Jubilee Family Fun Day! We appreciate it and the doughnuts were super yummy!

“We were delighted to support the event,” said Simply Doughnuts MD, Shiraz Master. “Our organisations have a lot in common besides being based in Blackburn. We both support the local community, we both won Queen’s Awards in 2020, and we both wanted to support something fun and memorable for the Jubilee.”

The event was a great success and saw a huge turnout. Photographic highlights can be seen here on YouTube.
