‘Strike’ aims to raise awareness in young adults about poverty in South Africa using 5-a-side football as a way of bringing them together from all over the region.
Platform2 volunteers, who have recently returned from 10 weeks living and volunteering in South Africa, will share their experiences with the participants and talk about the impact that the World Cup is having on local people.
In addition to the ‘Strike’ 5-a-side competition participants can watch the Quarter Final match of the World Cup being played on the day.
The game will be the finale to an exciting day and a buffet and bar mean players and supporters can celebrate an England victory, hopefully!
Entry is £1 per player and to register teams should email strikenewcastle@ctrlaltshift.co.uk or call Lizzie on 07854170023
