Story

THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE GENEROSITY!

As I write this, I've beaten the target by 10% - I'm delighted!

Locked in for a Cause – Join Me in the Big Burnley Breakout!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m taking part in the Big Burnley Breakout – an incredible fundraising challenge for Burnley FC in the Community. On Friday 28th March 2025, I’ll be locked in a cell at Burnley Police Station, donning full prison attire, complete with mugshots and fingerprints, all in the name of a fantastic cause. For five intense hours, I’ll be on a mission to raise £2000 – and I need your support to break out!

Prize draw: We have 4 prizes from generous local businesses - we will draw 4 winners in order (who have identified themselves on JustGiving, any donation amount) and offer the choice of prizes in that order.

* Georgia Taylor Beauty - £30 voucher for treatment of your choice

* Seriun - £50 Crow Wood Resort voucher

* JazzManGrooves Barbers - mens cut voucher plus selection of product

* Batch Gin - 2 bottles of Signature Gin

Burnley FC in the Community is more than just a charity. As the award-winning, official charity of Burnley Football Club, they’re dedicated to transforming lives across Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, the Ribble Valley, and West Yorkshire. Their passionate team runs over 50 community projects every year, reaching thousands of people and addressing critical issues like mental health, youth violence, cancer rehabilitation, food poverty, and more. Every donation fuels their vital work, helping provide sports, education, welfare support, and community facilities that make a real difference in our local area.

This event is a bold and fun challenge that reflects the spirit of our community – daring, determined, and deeply committed to making a change. While I may be behind bars for five hours, your generosity will set me free! By sponsoring me, you’re not only cheering me on during this wild escapade, but you’re also directly contributing to life-changing projects that uplift our local community.

Your support, whether big or small, will have a significant impact. Every pound brings us closer to that £2000 target and helps ensure that Burnley FC in the Community can continue to offer opportunities and hope to those who need it most. Join me in this breakout challenge – donate today, share my journey, and help me smash this fundraising goal!

Bring on the breakout, and thank you for standing with me!
