Blackburn youngsters have been showing off their skills by taking part in the national Kickz project.

Young people from the Brookhouse area of Blackburn have taken part in a national football project which is backed by Blackburn Rovers.

Run by the police and Rovers’ community team, Kickz is a project designed to break down barriers between the police and young people.

It hopes to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and develop potential by channelling youngsters’ energy into football.
