Can U Kick It
A community football programme started by Moss Side-based Fathers Against Violence (FAV) is calling on Manchester businesses to support an initiative that aims to inspire local young people through sport - Can U Kick It?
Can U Kick It? was launched by FAV, a grass-roots organisation which provides support for fathers in Moss Side and Hulme, training them to become mentors for young people who may not have a male role model at home.
