HOME ABOUT US PROJECTS FACILITIES OVERSEAS SUPPORT US BOOK NOW Home / About Us / Who We Are Who We Are We are Burnley FC in the Community (BFCitC); the award-winning, official charity of Burnley Football Club. We believe in the immense power of our football club to transform people’s lives for the better. We work hard every day to deliver our mission across the communities of Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, the Ribble Valley and West Yorkshire. Together we inspire, support and deliver positive change for all. Our work is channelled into key areas: Education & Employability, Community Welfare & Inclusion, Football Development and Community Facilities. Our highly-skilled, dynamic and passionate team now deliver over 50 community projects that touch the lives of a huge spectrum of people in and around Burnley. From children and young people right through to senior citizens. Though we are embedded within the ethos of Burnley FC, we are financially independent from the football club. We rely on fundraising activities, donations, sponsorships and grants to do the work we do and every penny we raise goes to developing new opportunities for those who need it most. We believe Burnley is a special place – a home to extraordinary people. This website will showcase to you the scope of our work but it’s also a place you can actively get involved in the work of our charity. Day-by-day, the outreach of our work is growing and truly exciting things are happening at Burnley FC in the Community. Come and be part of our story!
