Current projects
Keep the clarets warm
This year our Claret’s Youth Board have created the project “Keep the Claret’s Warm”.
This project aims to provide all the young people and adults we engage with on a weekly basis at our sessions, including Premier League Kicks, Limitless Clarets and Clarets Welcome with warm winter clothes ahead of the winter months.
If you are a member of the local community or a local business, we are asking for clothes donations between the ages of 5-18.
Our drop off locations are Turf Moor and The Leisure Box.
A huge thank you for your support.
