Teenagers and young adults from Reading took part in a project called Kickz, which was supported by the UK's largest sports charity the Football Foundation.

The participiants enjoyed Kickz

The project was aimed at young people who are not in full-time education, employment or training. 

Over February half-term the young people worked with Reading-based educational charity Real Time Film and Video to produce a documentary film.

They also worked with the Chants Enterprise charity, professional musicians and DJs to create music to be used as the soundtrack for the film, which will be shown to VIPs and screened in Reading as well as at the Madejski Stadium.

"It's a fantastic opportunity, once in a lifetime. I don't think it will have really sunk in until they are standing there watching it on this huge screen."

Anthony Charles, who works for Chance Enterprise said that the project had gone well.

"It's one of our toughest project to date due to the accreditation attached to it." he said.

"It's something that's new to me and to all the young people involved. They end up with a notified qualification that they can use on their CVs and is recognised by educational authorities."

Jake says the project has helped him.

At the end of their course, the young people will gain a Bronze Arts Award, which is a nationally recognized and accredited qualification.

Jake, 14, was one of the teenagers involved in the project. He told BBC Berkshire why he had enjoyed taking part in the project.

"Learning skills, meet new people, it's just something to do." he said. "It's better than being out in the cold and doing nothing and wasting your life."

"I enjoy this a lot, it's been helping me get out off the streets every week."

Producer Nash said: "I rap on the track about football, we chose football because where here on Kickz, we  rap what goes on in football from a player's point of view, sometimes you can be at the top of your game and then the media can get you down."

Shane, who also took part in creating the film's soundtrack said they had chosen to focus on the themes of racism and knife crime.

He said: We focused mainly on the knife crime and glorified living and how we can get people away from knife crime and into football.

"We're trying to get people away from crime and into football."
