Club, charity & partners aim to make a difference this Christmas, one toy at a time…

To spread a little festive cheer this Christmas, Burnley FC have teamed up with partner Emma - The Sleep Company, official charity Burnley FC in the Community and Burnley Together, to encourage all supporters attending our fixture against Everton on Saturday 16th December to bring a toy to Emma’s Winter Slumberland Toy Drive.

Together, we are asking supporters to donate new and unwrapped toys which will be shared with children from the local community and put smiles on faces this Christmas.

Toys can be donated at the drop-off point which will be located in the northeast corner of the stadium, opposite the Rapidz Fan Zone. The drop-off point will be open from 3pm until kick-off. Please note, the drop-off point will close at kick-off and donations cannot be accepted after the match.

Then, the spirit of giving will continue as it takes centre stage at kick-off when the Burnley FC players will walk out hand in hand with Club mascots, who will be showcasing an assortment of gifts donated by the wider Burnley community.

It’s set to be a special occasion and Burnley FC’s Head of Commercial Marcus Mellor is pleased the Club can play its part in spreading some special Clarets cheer this festive season.

"This is about more than just football. It's about coming together as a community to spread joy and make a meaningful difference to the lives of these children. We believe every child deserves a magical Christmas, and this toy drive is our way of making that happen."

Felix Monnot, Country Manager at Emma Sleep UK said: “The season of Christmas is the most magical time of the year, but we’re aware that this year might be more difficult than ever for some families across the town. That’s where the Emma Winter Dreamland comes in. We’re hoping we can help Burnley fans and residents spread joy across the community, because everyone deserves to experience the beauty of Christmas. "

Burnley FC in the Community’s Chief Executive Officer, Helen Gurman added: “We are very excited to be working with Emma - The Sleep Company and Burnley Together to help spread holiday cheer throughout the wider Burnley community.

“Both the Club and charity are concerned with the welfare of the entire Burnley community and are always committed to finding new ways to give to those in need. The Club’s unwavering support ensures that the toy drive reaches as many children as possible, making a lasting impact on families during the holiday season.”

Every toy donated on the day, no matter the size, will help spread joy and festive cheer among those who need it most!

If you can’t make it to this weekend’s game to donate, you can bring your toy to the donation point at Burnley Together, Charter Walk Shopping Centre, Burnley, BB11 1QJ.
