THE Young People and Sports Development Group celebrated the Kick it Out' week of action by delivering a programme of multi-sport coaching around venues in Burnley.
The Damage Busters scheme worked closely with young people and highlight the issues and messages of Anti racism both within football - but more on the streets.
Goodies such as badges and sweatbands were given out to young people so that they could be encouraged to pass on the Anti Racism message to their peers.
The Damage Busters scheme worked closely with the Youth Bus where workshops, advice and guidance were also delivered.
The week of Action took place at the end of October after the group received a grant from Kick it Out for £945 to deliver over the week.
It culminated with mini tournaments at each venues.
Head Coach of the Scheme Phil Butterworth said: "Our team of qualified coaches delivered multi-sport sessions to young people in very challenging areas successfully promoting the Anti Racism message linking into the great game.
"The younsgters really got into the spirit of the campaign and were really interested to hear about different cultures people have in Burnley."
