Blackpool FC Community Trust delivers Reading The Game across numerous schools in Blackpool and we want more students to not only read more but to enjoy it too.”

Reading The Game is delivered across an initial six-week period to specifically targeted disengaged pupils.

Keeper Slocombe said: “It’s important children continue to read books and World Book Day is a fantastic opportunity to promote this.”
