Stopping crime with football. 

I heard about this football team in London the other day. They're called Hackney Wick FC and they're basically getting kids off the streets and into football.  I've read about so many deaths in London recently. There's been a big rise in knife crime and gang related violence. So what this team does is gives local kids the opportunity to do something with their lives.  It was set up by a guy called Bobby Kasanga who is an ex-con himself. Got into lots of trouble in gangs and that when he was younger. Now he's helping the next generation. They have to commit to two hours a week as well as helping out in the community. It's inspirational.  Read his story. It's amazing.
