GRASSROOTS football clubs in Bolton will benefit from grants from anti-racism campaign group Kick It Out and the Football Foundation.

The organisations will award a series of Community Chest grants up to £1,000, as part of a national anti-racism week.

The activities supported last year included drama productions, youth forums, photography projects, educational programmes and anti-racism themed football tournaments.

The week of action will take place from October 14 to 26 to celebrate the contribution made to football by black, Asian, and other ethnic minorities.

The closing date for grant applications is Monday, September 6.
