Children from several different primary schools and junior football clubs across Burnley teamed up for an inter-faith football tournament, organised by the Building Bridges in Burnley group.

The tournament was organised as part of Interfatih Week and saw teams from Barden Primary, St John’s Primary School, Cliviger, and Daneshouse FC competed at Northlight.

Builsing Bridges chairman Afrasiab Anwar said: “Thanks to Burnley FC in the Community for supporting the event. There were smiles on and off the pitch. I’d like to say a massive thank you to the pupils, parents and staff from the schools for turning up on a friday night. All participants will now go on to watch Burnley at Turf Moor.”

As part of Interfaith Week, the group also organised a recent trip to the Ghausia Mosque for St Andrew’s Scouts, which will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve.

Building Bridges in Burnley continues to play a leading role in fostering interfaith dialogue and community cohesion.
