‘People Arise Now’ are organising a Community Football Tournament is taking place on Saturday, 12th November 2022, 1pm to 3pm at Carshalton Boys Sports College.

‘We personally want to invite you to the tournament, which emerged after one of our Community Connect meetings. At the meeting, one of our young people shared his experiences of stop and search and how frustrated and shamed he feels by those occasions. He and the SNT police went on to have a fruitful conversation. Following that conversation, our young people felt that a football match would help break down barriers and stop the othering of each other. We are grateful to the police, particularly Sgt. James Carvey, who accepted the challenge and is making the event possible.

Therefore, if possible, please support our young people as they work to better community relations.’
