Burnley FC in the Community welcomed a group of school children to their No Nay Never Forget dementia support group to sing a selection of festive carols.

Year fours and sices from St Mary's Primary School visited Burnley Cricket Club to visit the group which provides a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for people living with Dementia, Alzheimer’s and memory loss and their carers.

Burnley's Extra Time Over 50 group were also in attendance with the programme helping tackle issues such as loneliness and social isolation amongst our community’s senior citizens.

"We've got a great connection with our Primary Education team at Burnley FC in the Community and we've welcomed the year fours and sixes of St Mary's School to Burnley Cricket Club today to sing Christmas Carols," explained Martin Payne, Burnley FC in the Community Health and Wellbeing Project Co-ordinator.

The Claret's Health and Wellbeing Hub are dedicated to using the power of football to promote wellness for all and run a series of groups which you can find out more about on their website.
