Corridor Manchester sponsors Street Child World Cup – UK Team

A group of young people from Manchester have been chosen to represent the UK at the Street Child World Cup in Durban South Africa later this month. Corridor Manchester are sponsors of the team. As a part of our support Corridor Manchester has provided each team member and the coaches with a digital camera so that they can record their experience of the event for personal use, to contribute to a blog and to bring back learning for themselves and others on their return.

Steve Grant (Assistant Director of Human Resources – University of Manchester) seconded to Corridor Manchester said “It’s fantastic that a group of young Manchester people, mostly from very disadvantaged backgrounds, have been selected for such a high profile and prestigious initiative”. The group visited Downing Street last month, as the guests of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and their progress is also being followed by BBC television’s ‘Blue Peter’.
