CLARETS WELCOME
THE LEISURE BOX, EVERY friday 10am-11am
Moving to a new area can be daunting. You may not know anyone, and you’re not sure how best to meet people
That’s where Clarets Welcome can help.
Clarets Welcome is a friendly, welcoming football session that is FREE and open to any males over the age of 16 that are new to the Burnley and East Lancashire area.
We want you to feel at home here, so we’ve created an environment where everyone feels comfortable joining.
It’s really easy: just turn up at our session every Friday morning at 10am at The Leisure Box and get ready for some fun!
The original purpose of Clarets Welcome was to bring together young men who were displaced from Syria due to the ongoing conflict. But our doors are now open to 16+ males from all backgrounds who are new to the Burnley and East Lancashire area.
Clarets Welcome helps participants to develop their football skills, be a part of a team and, most importantly, enjoy football in a welcoming environment.
