We've had lots of enquiries about our October Half Term Holiday Camps, so firstly, a big thank you to everyone who's been in touch 🖤 🤍

We're planning to run our camps from Monday 19th to Friday 30th October, and we're delighted to have some additional funding from Chorley Council to help support families receiving benefits, making our camps more accessible to local children.

We're just waiting for final confirmation from the venue that the space is available for us, and as soon as we get the green light, we'll open bookings!

We know lots of you are keen to get your places booked, so thank you for your patience.

Keep an eye on this page – you'll be the first to know when bookings go live! 🖤 🤍

A quick reminder that this starts Monday alongside our friends at Chorley Council and a number of other amazing Chorley organisations.

If you're 16–24 and not quite sure what comes next, come down and see us.

There'll be table tennis, PlayStation, games, brews and people to chat to. And if you want some help with work, college, apprenticeships, training, volunteering or anything else that might be getting in the way, we'll have people there who can help with that too.

You don't need an appointment, you don't need to know who you need to speak to and you're more than welcome to bring a parent or carer with you.

Just turn up, get involved and see where the conversation takes you.

📍 Mariners Lounge, Chorley Football Club, Victory Park
📅 Mondays from 12th October
⏰ 1:30pm–3:30pm
💷 Completely free

Sometimes you don't need to have it all figured out. You just need somewhere to start.

Today is National Coaching Day, so it feels like a pretty good excuse to say a massive thank you to all of our coaches at Chorley FC Community Foundation.

From our Holiday Camps and Junior Magpies, through to Veterans Football, Walking Football and our Social Inclusion Games, our coaches work with people of all ages and abilities across Chorley.

And yes, they coach football, but it’s much more than that.

They encourage, they listen, they make people feel welcome and they create sessions that people genuinely look forward to coming back to.

We can come up with all the ideas in the world, but without good people willing to turn up week after week and make them happen, they’re just ideas.

We’ve got some really good people around this Foundation and we’re very lucky to have them.

So on National Coaching Day, a big thank you to every single one of you. 🖤 🤍

Really excited to see that both Crowberry Consulting & Energy and Warburton Interiors have signed up to join us for this year’s Community Sleepout! 🙌

We’re incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built with local businesses, and both have been regular faces at our Business Club and Chorley events for some time.

Now they’re swapping the networking for a sleeping bag and joining us for what will undoubtedly be a cold, tough night at Victory Park! 🥶

Thank you for getting behind us, we’re looking forward to having you there.

And another huge thank you to our headline sponsors, Aspect Mortgages and Scope Fire & Security. Their support has helped make this year’s Sleepout possible. ❤️

Friday 13th November | Victory Park

There’s still time to join us and sleep out for three brilliant local causes.

💃 Do you know someone who’d enjoy an afternoon out at Victory Park?

On Thursday 22nd October, we’re opening the doors at Chorley Football Club for our Afternoon Tea Dance, from 1pm–3pm.

There’ll be music, dancing, afternoon tea and, most importantly, plenty of good company.

You absolutely don’t have to dance.

Come along for a brew, something to eat and a couple of hours with other people from the local community.

Thanks to support from the Asda Foundation, places are completely FREE, but they do need to be booked in advance.

And if you have a parent, grandparent, neighbour or friend who you think would enjoy the afternoon but might struggle to book online themselves, please give them a hand and book a place for them.

📅 Thursday 22nd October
⏰ 1pm–3pm
📍 Victory Park, Chorley FC
🎟️ Completely FREE

Book a free place here https://events.chorleyfcfoundation.co.uk/events/event-details/6ab9571c1f5a7f232fe15945

Please share this with anyone you think might enjoy getting out of the house, meeting a few people and spending a couple of hours with us. ❤️

If you're aged 16–24 and not sure what comes next, come and have a chat. 👋

Maybe you're looking for a job, thinking about college or training, interested in volunteering, need a bit of support, or just aren't really sure what your next step looks like.

Sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest bit.

That’s why we’re providing One Front Door at Chorley Football Club, Victory Park.

Every Monday, we'll be bringing together people and organisations who can help, including Chorley FC Community Foundation, Chorley Council, Runshaw College and First Kick Foundation, with support covering jobs, apprenticeships, training, volunteering, housing, wellbeing, money and more.

You don't need an appointment. You don't need to know which organisation you need. And you definitely don't need to have everything figured out before you come.

Just drop in, have a brew, meet some friendly faces and tell us what you're looking for. We'll help you find the right people to speak to.

📍 Chorley Football Club, Victory Park
📅 Every Monday from 12th October
⏰ 1:30pm–3:30pm
💷 Completely FREE

One Front Door. Somewhere to start.
