Breaking Barriers in Burnley is a multi-agency youth provision, which aims to involve young people from different areas, backgrounds and cultures together in order to develop positive relationships between the various communities of Burnley. It works to tackle racism, bring communities together, promote understanding and tolerance and to reduce conflict by providing constructive activities for the young people of Burnley.

The Burnley Youth Action project aims to deliver a range of fun, developmental and issue based projects for young people in the local area. At the same time it develops the young participants as peer educators to enable them to lead on these activities and deliver a variety of activities to other young people in the community.

The project is driven by community cohesion goals and engages hundreds of young people between the ages of 11-24 from different faiths and backgrounds, including Muslim, Christian and no faith.
