Burnley FC announce charity support
In the run up to their game against Watford, which resulted in a 0-0 draw on Saturday, Alan Pace has made some announcements. He stated that £2 from every £10 ticket will be donated to Tommy’s, a charity close to Ben’s heart. Tommy’s helped continue to help thousands of people every day who have been affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth. Hoping to get the team up the league, and also support their local community, Burnley FC have also announced more donations and ticket price freezes.
The Clarets also agreed to donate a thousand tickets for the game to their award-winning charity. This is called Burnley FC in the Community. The charity has been distributing the tickets to local schools in return for a donation to ELHT&Me, the charity of East Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. ELHT&Me fundraise to help enhance patient and staff environment and experience across five local hospitals - Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, Burnley General Teaching Hospitals, Accrington Victoria, Clitheroe, and Pendle Community Hospitals.
They have decided to freeze our season ticket prices again, as we have for a number of years now. Good news, season tickets are now on sale at the frozen prices. Mike Garlick is known to attend the matches, and so you may just see him there. Burnley FC in the community is focussed into key areas: Education & Employability, Community Welfare & Inclusion, Football Development and Community Facilities. They deliver over 50 community projects that touch the lives of people of all ages in communities in and around Burnley.
Their aims include to Support the community to live healthy lives, create a level playing field for all to engage in sport and physical activity, ensure we are a needs-led charity and focus on addressing the ‘root cause’ of social issues. Burnley FC in the Community also support and inspire children and young people to reach their full potential. You can get in touch with the registered charity by email at: community@burnleyfc.com .
