Скачать или смотреть Premier League Kicks | Saints Foundation x Pompey in the Community... (BBC South Today)

On the pitch, it is one of football’s most famous rivalries, but off the pitch both clubs are changing the lives of young people in their communities.

Saints Foundation and Pompey in the Community are collaborating to showcase the positive work being done in each city on youth offending, and providing young people a safe place through the power of football and positive connections.

Premier League Kicks uses football as a hook to connect with 8 to 18-year-olds offering young people positive ways to spend their free time, helping to unlock opportunities for their future.

Supported by the Premier League Charitable Fund, a version of the project is run in each city by the charity arms of each of Hampshire’s biggest clubs.

While Saints Foundation and Pompey in the Community adapt their versions of the project to the needs of the city, both teams see common themes and challenges in Southampton and Portsmouth.
