Emmanuel Allen-Burnett, Community Engagement Officer, Barrow AFC Foundation

“The Foundation  :  Who are we?

We work closely with the football club to foster community engagement.

Our programs encompass a wide range of activities, including extensive work in schools and collaborations with local agencies, charities, and organisations. We also support government initiatives aimed at promoting health and well-being, with sessions targeted at socially deprived areas. 

Our initiatives are split between involving players, to use the power of football as the vehicle for education through school’s provisions, to collaborating with charities and community organisations in providing support for our communities in battling the challenges faced on a day-to-day basis, harnessing the power of football to influence positive change within the community.  “
