Tabor House resident attends Football for Hope Festival

Dean Simpson, who has been a resident of Tabor House Under 18s Residential Service for four years, is taking part in the FIFA Football for Hope Festival in Johannesberg.

The Festival will include an array of exciting programmes for the 32 teams of young people from disadvantaged communities throughout the world for a festival of education, culture and football and culminates in a football tournament from 4-11 July. In this tournament, mixed teams of boys and girls will compete without any referees. Any disagreements on the pitch are resolved through dialogue – a method proven to encourage personal development and mutual understanding.

Festival participants are selected for their contribution to building a better future in their respective communities.
