INTRODUCTION.

Our mission is a simple one; to support, inspire and deliver change to the people who need it most in our communities, using the immeasurable power of Burnley FC to do this.

In the two short years since we founded the charity, we have made remarkable strides in our community outreach. From almost nothing, we have grown to the size where we now deliver over 30 projects, employ over 35 members of staff and have seen our work recognised both nationally and regionally.

And with the can-do attitude of my team, I know the sky is the limit in the coming years. This is an exciting time to be at Burnley FC and we need you to be part of that story. The financial and personal support of the business community is key to our sustainability and, as a charity at the centre of a Premier League football club, there is so much we can offer in return for a business’ profile and its CSR agenda.

Please take a look inside at the all the opportunities available and to see how other businesses have benefited from forming relationships with us..If you would like to find out more, please get in touch.
