Medway Police will be lacing their football boots for charity when they take part in a football tournament.

Teams will play in five-a-side matches, being held from 11am on Saturday, June 28, at the Kickz Soccer Centre, Strood Leisure Centre, Watling Street, from 11am.

The event, held during National Refugee Week, will include young asylum seekers and police teams from across Kent.

Medway PCSO Supervisor Alan Beech put together the team of officers for the event, which is being run by The Kent Community Housing Trust (KCHT).

He said: “The tournament will bring the community together in a friendly and fun environment and the team is looking forward to taking part.

“I am confident they will continue with their winning ways and be a force to be reckoned with.”
