Ben & Helen's BIG BURNLEY BREAKOUT

Ben Bottomley is raising money for Burnley FC in the Community

Big Burnley Breakout 2026 · 26 March 2026 to 27 March 2026 ·

🚨 The Big Burnley Breakout! 🚨 We're locking up the Charity's supporters at Burnley Police Station - can they raise enough bail money to escape? Every penny supports Burnley FC in the Community, funding vital projects for those most in need

Story

It finally happened… Helen Gurman and I are being locked up!

Over the last couple of years The Big Burnley Breakout has raised over 85k for Burnley FC in the Community and we’re set to go again this Thursday, only this time we’ll be taking part!

Apparently, our offence was “being too AWESOME’’ and now we'll be stuck behind bars at Burnley Police Station until we raise enough money to break free.

So here we are, plotting our great escape, one donation at a time. Think Prison Break, but with less drama, more laughter, and significantly worse prison food.

If you want to help spring us from this high‑security (…okay, mildly inconvenient) situation, chip in and help us smash our fundraising target.

Every pound gets us one step closer to freedom and saves Helen from having to listen to my escape plans all day.

We'll be reaching out on the day, this Thursday morning at 9am with our pleas... until then I'll be enjoying freedom!

Every penny raised goes to Burnley FC in the Community, supporting foodbanks, mental wellbeing, education & more.

Please donate and help us break free!
