Anthony & Laurent stop by community programme

Ahead of World Alzheimer’s Day, which took place on Sunday 21st September, Jaidon Anthony and Josh Laurent, visited Burnley FC in the Community’s Dementia Programme, No Nay Never Forget, at Burnley Tennis Club to spend time with those living with dementia.

No Nay Never Forget provides a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for people living Dementia, Alzheimer’s and their families, friends and carers. The regular weekly activities include board games, dominoes, dancing, music, bingo and so much more.

The programme now features a brand-new entertainment schedule. During last month’s visit from Burnley FC Academy, the players joined lively singing duo 'Trouble at Mill' and during Jaidon and Josh' visit the players got involved with a group drumming session.

The fun continued with a mega game of dominoes, where players and participants shared laughs, made memories, and posed for photos together.

Josh Laurent said: “I always say we are just normal people, but to them Burnley Football Club is everything, so it can make their day and put them in a better headspace. I’m very happy we went, the people were really uplifting and so positive and happy and I take pride in going to these programmes.”

Deputy CEO of Burnley FC in the Community Michael Colquhoun added: “There’s nothing quite as special as watching the players interact with our participants, the joy it brings is truly heart-warming. There’s always a great level of banter at the No Nay Never Forget session, and it’s fantastic to see the players fully embrace it.”

That same week, Mike Trésor, Quilindschy Hartman and Loum Tchaouna also visited Burnley FC in the Community’s foodbank, helping to pack a variety of parcels for local residents.
