Blackpool players' healthy message for primary schools

Five Blackpool FC players visited Year 4 pupils at two Blackpool primary schools.

Armand Gnanduillet, Dolly Menga and Christoffer Mafoumbi got involved in a ‘Q and A’ at Norbreck, while Joe Lumley and Nick Anderton were at Stanley to speak about nutrition and healthy lifestyle.

The visits were part of the Fit2Go scheme, encouraging children to take part in regular physical activity and to join sports clubs and community programmes, improving their health and well-being.

Pupils from both schools, threw a range of questions at the players and Menga added: “A lot of young people stay indoors instead of going outside and playing sports. I recommend that all young people get involved in physical activity.”

Blackpool FC Community Trust will be delivering its half-term sports camps at Unity Academy and Hawes Side Primary School from February 12-16. To book call 01253 348691 or learn more at www.blackpoolfccommunitytrust.co.uk
