More than 60 teenagers from Waltham Forest took part in a charity football tournament designed to bring together people from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds.

Human Rights Focus organised the 'East London’s Finest' contest at GOALS Football Centre, in Morrison Avenue, Chingford, on Sunday January 20.

It was held as part of the charity's 'Inspire2Change' project, which aims to build bridges between different sections of communities.

The tournament was opened by European Member of Parliament Marina Yannakoudakis and funded by the European Commission and Council of Europe.
