Two footballers have taken part in a project to help tackle child health issues and encourage better oral hygiene and diets.

Ipswich Town striker George Hirst and defender Conor Townsend attended the club’s Empower Hub project at the Willows Family Hub in Chantry, Suffolk.

The session focused on the foundation’s Shine initiative, which was designed to educate children from all backgrounds on oral health and balanced diets.

Blues forward Hirst said education for children on a balanced diet was “massive”.
