Last week, ten City in the Community participants were given a VIP experience ahead of the launch of the Premier League.

Our girls were given an exclusive tour of Wembley, put up in a hotel overnight and were treated to a football master class with skipper Vincent Kompany. The launch also saw the Premier League announce a £10m investment in PE support for primary schools.
