This year's Kick It Out campaign was a huge success and West Ham United showed their support by proudly wearing the campaign t-shirts in training and in the warm-up before the game with Arsenal.
In an effort to spread the message further among the community, club Kick It Out ambassador Jack Collison met three boys from the Canon Palmer Catholic school at Chadwell Heath to present them with the t-shirts as a gift to the school. The three boys, Duncan Whitfield, Nick Hopkins and Eden Afum, are all year ten students and proud members of the school's successful football team.
"Meeting the boys was great we've supplied them with the t-shirts and information about the campaign, hoping that they will take the awareness away with them to others of their age in the community," Collison said. "Anything we can do to raise awareness of racism and educate people positively can only be a good thing."
