Members of the Amigos Mentoring Project football team were treated to a new kit this week thanks to sponsorship from local solicitors TMK.
Amigos, a Youth Justice Board-funded initiative, is a mentoring scheme which works specifically with "hard to reach" young people.

The scheme offers disaffected youngsters a year-long partnership working with a positive adult role model.
Among the activities the scheme encourages, is taking part in the five-a-side Tuesday night league at Southend Tennis and Leisure Centre in Garon's Park.
The team, whose kit is now sponsored by TMK, which has offices in Weston Road, is made up of young people, a mentor and Southend Youth Offending Team staff.
