Burnley FC is more than a Premier League football club; it is a community powerhouse, and a club with deep roots in a proud working-class town.

Join Stuart Hunt, CEO of Burnley FC, to hear how the Clarets partner with schools, health providers, and local organizations to strengthen wellbeing, expand opportunity, and build belonging across Burnley and the surrounding region. With 50+ programs reaching 32,000+ people each year, Burnley FC in the Community supports youth development and education, mental and physical health, disability sport, veterans and refugee support, and anti-poverty efforts. Come see what it looks like when topflight football becomes a social anchor, and how a club can help a community thrive.

Part of our winter 2026 lecture series, "Sport and Society."
