And I think about 30 people come and meet in a park.

And so people started going in to volunteer.

There were English lessons offered.

There were just people going in to look out.

They'd get things shouted at them.

And who else did you meet?

So when I went to Epping, I went to an Epping for Everyone event that was supposed to be a picnic, but it rained and rained and rained.

Of course.

So it's moved inside to a local Quaker meeting hall.

And one of the guys I met who was part of Epping for Everyone was a guy called Dom.

And he was a local football coach.

And the first thing he said to me was how that's what he felt he could do with these guys.

You could tell they used to go and play football before all of this.

So you've got these guys who are sitting there doing nothing and not being able to do anything.

not allowed to work.

So Dom decided to shape a football team.

And so I think he kind of managed to get them to train in a fairly small courtyard in the back of the hotel.

But what happened after a while is there was a football tournament organized by the charity Care for Calais and Bell FC, who they became, were invited.

It was in Clapton, the local club in East London.
