Project Aim – PA Future Creations Sports Hub, Blackburn The PA Future Creations Sports Hub aims to transform a disused church in Blackburn
We are PA Future Creations, a passionate community-led team committed to tackling inequality, inactivity, and poor mental health through inclusive sport. Our idea is to transform a disused Blackburn church into a modern Sports Hub—housing cricket lanes, a fitness area, and a yoga/wellbeing space for people of all ages and abilities.
Our team includes experienced coaches, community workers, and volunteers already delivering cricket, fitness, and youth projects across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. We’ve seen first-hand the life-changing impact that accessible sport can have on confidence, health, and belonging.
With the money raised, we will install indoor flooring, safety netting, lighting, accessible toilets/showers, and launch subsidised sessions. This will be a safe space for women, youth, disabled residents, and local families—reviving a historic building into a lasting community asset.
