Black boys need role models: Report
Press Assoc. - 1 hour 55 minutes ago
Black boys need more role models who do not glamorise crime, guns or drugs, according to a new report.
It will call for the creation of a National Role Model programme to give the youngsters figures from their own community to look up to.
The independent Reach report was commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government and its findings are expected to be welcomed by ministers. A copy of the full report will be presented to Communities Secretary Hazel Blears at its launch in Manchester...

& Call for black role models scheme
The panel has called for a national role model programme
Black boys need positive role models from within their own communities to tackle underachievement, a report says.
The Reach panel of experts, from fields including education and business, says too often role models for young black men include rappers who glamorise guns.
The report says the problem could cost the UK £24bn over the next 50 years, in terms of lost taxes, criminal justice and healthcare costs...

I praise God for the 'mini United Nations' that is Liverpool's City Church, Jubilee Drive, opposite Kensington Park - just @ 400 yards from the massive Royal Liverpool Hospital
My housegroup alone has 6 African nations, an Indian, a Spaniard & a Filipino couple - & there's only @ 15 of us altogether - I can't wait till we raid Eastham Park, Wirral on a 'bring a pack lunch' picnic & day out, Sat 18 August
Our pastor will be away for 3 weeks in Zimbabwe then, but Keith Kerry, an anointed evangelist, who'll be looking after the church then, is bound to turn our football & baseball party there into something very special!
As you cross the lights from the top of Prescot St into Kensington, L6, by the way, a big sign proclaims, "New Kensington: new thinking!"
What a gift to an evangelist!
Many a time, en route to church, in the splendid acoustics of the uphill climb from London Road & the open air market area, I've called out, "Catch a glimpse of Heaven, 10.309am0 & 7(pm), City Church, Jubilee Drive, opposite Kensington Park - bus 10, stand 4 Queens Square gets ya there!
"I'm walking - race ya there!"
Done that all over the city centre pedestrian area whenever there's something special on - which is frequently!
Speaking of which...
"There's something exciting going on>>
