Public Questions
Paul Mellor, Coach of the football team said this was to get the team started as there were children who might not be able to play before as many local teams are very competitive and it coats so much to kit them out.
A representative from St Peter Church held an event last year that is to encourage asylum seekers and immigrants to get to know each other and the community. The event was successful last year, and people wish to do it again and do a bigger event, with artists, posters and social media.
