Whitefield Youth Association, (WYA), is a Registered Charity, Charity Registration 1136520, based in Pendle, East Lancashire that was set up by a group of Volunteers in 2002 to respond to the Burnley disturbances that blighted the area which caused irreparable damage to Community Relations. The Charity supports Young People across Burnley & Pendle that come from deprived backgrounds and marginalised communities who face barriers in fulfilling their potential and enhance their life opportunities as well as raising the awareness of being a responsible citizen in the Community.
