​Applications are now open to deliver activities for the Burnley Winter Fun, Food and Friends programme. This initiative is part of Burnley’s Holiday Activities with Food (HAF) programme, supporting the delivery of holiday camps during the Christmas holidays.

We’re creeping it real this October with a frightfully fun update to our Step Into Numbers course – now with a spooky new look and slightly updated dates! 👻


We’d be ever so grateful if you could share this with your networks and anyone who might benefit. It’s a free, friendly Maths course designed to help Burnley residents build confidence with numbers – no scary textbooks in sight!


Whether it’s budgeting, cooking, work, or helping kids with homework, our 4 fun-sized sessions will do the trick… and yes, there’s a treat too! 🎃

Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance has teamed up with cancer charity Ovacome to bring its eye-catching van to town centres, community events and supermarkets across the region, from Wednesday 17 September to Saturday 18 October.
 
Staffed by trained health ambassadors and volunteers, the van will offer interactive symptom checkers, on-site talks and Q&A sessions, as well as signposting to local support groups and healthcare providers.

Burnley Leisure & Culture is recruiting 30 Culture Makers – a brand-new team, who will help shape and deliver Burnley’s Year of Culture in 2027.
