The three-year project, based in the East Midlands, will be led by Football Unites Racism Divides (FURD) Educational Trust in partnership with Sheffield United Football Club PLC and Kick It Out. It will discover how sports like football can help refugees and asylum seekers gain a better foothold in their community. 180 asylum seekers, refugees and members of local resident communities will directly benefit from the project, as well as 30 organisations.
