About BFC School

Blackpool FC Community Trust ( BFCCT) is the official charity of Blackpool FC , dedicated to improving the lives of people across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast. Our programmes engage thousands each year, supporting children, young people, adults and older residents— including those with additional needs or facing disadvantage— through education, youth and family support, health and wellbeing initiatives, inclusive sport and pathways into training and employment.

BFCCT operates as a registered charity with a clear governance structure that ensures accountability, transparency and long- term sustainability. The organisation is overseen by an independent Board of Trustees, who provide strategic direction, ensure compliance with Charity Commission for England and Wales requirements, and safeguard the charity’s mission and resources. The Board brings together a range of professional expertise to guide decision- making, manage risk and ensure the Trust delivers measurable impact for the communities it serves.

Day- to- day operations are led by the Chief Executive Officer and senior leadership team, who are responsible for implementing the charity’s strategy, managing programmes and maintaining high standards of delivery across all areas of work. This structure ensures a clear separation between governance and operational management, strengthening both oversight and performance.
