Playing Together - Growing up in a Multi-Faith Britain

Oct 18, 2015, 06:46 AM

For many children, it doesn't matter what faith they belong to - when they play together, it's having fun that counts.

As part of Faith In The World Week - which this year is all about growing up in a multi-faith Britain - BBC Local Radio has been looking at the power sport has to bring together young people from different religious backgrounds.

A specially commissioned poll, carried out by ComRes, found that adults think today's children and teenagers are more tolerant towards people from different backgrounds, but the places where they play and meet are no longer as safe.

Sarah Major has been to visit two diverse sports clubs in Sheffield to find out if the children there talk about their faith and to see how well they get along together.
