2 INTRODUCTION.

3 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. Neil Hart Chief Executive Officer 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.

24 We touch the lives of our community at every point in their lives Under 5s Primary School Secondary School From just 3 years old, youngsters join us at Minikickers for their first taster of recreational football, focusing on developing the child as a whole. Our projects compliment every school year group, enhancing the national curriculum and providing outstanding football coaching. As children begin to develop their diverse interests in secondary school, we offer a range of projects to help them flourish as individuals. We form an early connection with pre-school children that ensures a bond with Burnley FC in the Community that lasts a lifetime In Primary schools, we deliver a Schools Healthy Eating programme to year 5 and 6 children, with Soccer Schools and School Sport programme available across the region, for children aged 5-12 years old.

25 THE BIG PICTURE. Young People Adults Over 50s In an area of high unemployment, we help young people build their skills and enter the working world. Not everyone is fortunate to have the same start into a working life. Our Pendle Works project helps improve employability in young adults through workshops, skills building and work placements. As we get older, the risk of isolation and loneliness increases dramatically, as does inactivity. Our NCS team take year olds (up to 25 with SEN) on residentials to build independence whilst our Shadow Youth Teams provides talented players the chance to combine playing regular, high level football with educational studies. For those wanting to improve their physical health, our Men s Healthy Weight Management programme helps local males drop pounds and gain a new level of fitness!
