Street Soccer

The project encourages some of the most at risk young people living in Blackburn with Darwen to engage in a more positive evening activity through organised football sessions at community facilities. The main aim is to offer young people a positive and healthy option in their free time, where they can express themselves in a safe and enjoyable environment. Consequently, there has been a noticeable reduction in anti-social behaviour in communities where the initiatives are being delivered.

Our current sessions are detailed below:

Daisyfield Primary School, Clinton Street, Little Harwood, Blackburn, BB1 5LB. Every Friday and Saturday from 7.30pm - 9.00pm. Participation is free, boys and girls aged 11 -18 years are welcome to attend. (Sessions begin Friday 27th January)
