Brighton and Hove Albion stars have launched a new coaching project to encourage disaffected youngsters to take up sport.
The Seagulls' Football Inclusion Project has been funded with a £163,010 grant from the Football Foundation to work with socially-excluded young people aged eight to 19, including offenders, children in care, black and ethnic minority groups as well as those excluded from school.
The scheme will operate in some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in Brighton and Hove, including Moulsecoomb, Whitehawk and Hollingdean and will include a number of local organisations including Youth Support Services, Sussex Police, Brighton and Hove Youth Offending Team and the County Council.
