PLYMOUTH Moor View MP Fred Thomas is on a mission to get more children playing football. He claims difficulties accessing sport, particularly football, is an issue in the city and more funding is needed.
It is his view that, through sport, children can attain the skills they need for life. The former Royal Marine, who is a keen football player, has launched a campaign called Football for All, with some of the most disadvantaged youngsters in his constituency taking part in a free session at Manadon Sports Hub.
It's a collaboration between the MP and Argyle Community Trust, Plymouth Argyle's charity. Some 60 boys and girls joined in, with 50% of those who receive free school meals and I play loads of football so it's attending the event.
