Blackpool FC Community Trust column: Back meeting our community's needs

Following the relaxation of government guidelines, we are excited to be recommencing more face-to-face delivery throughout this month.

Walking Football started last week as well as Forces Football.

PL Kicks sessions, providing free football for those aged eight to 18, resumed on Tuesday this week.

We are also hoping our Tiny Tangerines mini football sessions will be making a comeback at the end of the month.

This is in addition to the ongoing support we have continued to provide through schools and one to one sessions for specifically targeted participants, such as the Tower Above and Project ADDER programmes.

We also have an open evening on Tuesday, April 20, when people can find out how they can further their education with Blackpool FC Sports College.

The open evening provides a chance to meet tutors, look at our college facilities and ask any questions about the BTEC and degree courses we offer.

If you would like to attend, please email [email protected] or call the BFCCT office on 01253 348619.

Team Talk sessions, Armed Forces coffee mornings and other programmes ​that are currently taking place online will continue to operate that way until we can reopen even more of our face to face activities.

However, we are starting to confirm places on Fit Blackpool.

Delivered as part of the EFL network and funded by Sport England, Fit Blackpool is a free 12-week weight management programme.

Those taking part will meet fellow fans just like themselves and gain a view behind the scenes at Blackpool Football Club.

The programme is also designed to help supporters make better lifestyle choices.

For more information on any of the above, please visit www.bfcct.co.uk, call us on 01253 348691 or follow BFCCT on social media.
