Schools Mental Wellbeing Project
SUPPORTED 5000 STUDENTS SINCE 2018
Burnley FC in the Community’s Schools’ Mental Wellbeing Project (SMWP) leverages the popularity of the Premier League and Burnley Football Club to enhance the mental wellbeing of young people in our community.
The project addresses the gaps in children and adolescent mental health services and empowers young people to become resilient, leading happy and fulfilling lives. It offers both one-to-one and group support and engages the wider school community to
promote wellbeing, resilience, and work towards achieving mentally healthy school status.
Burnley FC in the Community aim to support young people with their mental wellbeing by providing early intervention support, to build resilience and create a future generation of mentally healthy individuals.
We want to work with schools to help support students to lead fulfilling lives and break the stigmas associated with mental health.
The Schools’ Mental Wellbeing Project (SMWP) is supported by the Premier League and Professional Footballer’s Association. Administered through the Premier League Charitable Fund, the funding helps football clubs to tackle inequality and respond to local challenges, supporting people and their communities to be more inclusive.
