A new partnership is set to make it easier for families to book sports and activity sessions.
Burnley FC in the Community has teamed up with ClassHoppa, an activity discovery and booking platform.
The platform was founded by Cliviger sisters Siobhan Fox and Olivia Cooley, who grew up taking part in activities at Burnley Football Club.
From today (November 5), the charity’s free and paid sessions, including children’s holiday clubs, adult walking sports, and elite pathways, will be available to book through ClassHoppa.
Siobhan Fox, co-founder of ClassHoppa, said: "Helping people discover and book Burnley FC in the Community’s sessions is a real full-circle moment.
"I used to go to activities at Burnley Football Club growing up, which really built my confidence and helped me make lifelong friends.
"But not everyone is that lucky.
"Finding a sport or activity you love can be life-changing, whatever your age, and we’re committed to helping more people easily find and book brilliant activities to look forward to each week."
The partnership aims to increase participation in Burnley and East Lancashire by making it easier for families to find and book sessions on a single, mobile-friendly platform.
Last year, Burnley FC in the Community delivered 14,279 sessions and supported more than 30,000 people.
A quarter of adults in Burnley (27.6 per cent) are physically inactive, compared with 21.8 per cent across England.
Amelia Stalton-Tracey, marketing and events co-ordinator at Burnley FC in the Community, said: "At Burnley FC in the Community, we’re passionate about creating opportunities that make a positive difference to people’s lives.
