The importance of this visit Is underlined by the number of agencies providing support. Apart from the Youth Charter for Sport and Hulme Regeneration Limited, they include Manchester City Council, British Airways, Reebok, the Sports Council, the American Amateur Athletic Foundation, the British American Chamber of Commerce, Granada Television and the British Consulate in Los Angeles. The 'Spirit of North West Tour' offers young people the opportunity to experience how sport is making a positive impact throughout Los Angeles via schools, churches and sports clubs. The knowledge gained from this visit can then be put to good use by the participants in their own community. The massive physical changes taking place in Hulme and Mass Side have to be supported by comprehensive and sustainable economic and social programmes of which this project is just one example.
Youth projects are an integral part of our plans.
