This week Helen Evans and Wes Brown are joined by a group of young people from the Foundation’s ‘Youth Voice’ group. Manchester United Foundation uses football to engage and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and unite the communities in which they live, and that's what this episode is all about!
In this episode we give our young fans the chance to get on the mic and talk about issues that matter to them, and how football clubs can play their part in positive change.
To help with our discussion, we're also joined by some special guests...

Thanks to the following members of our amazing Youth Voice group for joining us; Arissa, Esty, Amelia, Ciaran, Danyaal, Rick, Khadim and Mohamed.
