CHILDREN have completed a leadership building course at the Cathie Stankevitch Foundation in Widnes.

The foundation teamed up with martial arts instructor Steve James who runs the Matt Fiddes Martial Arts Schools in Widnes.

Steve said: “The children have all worked so hard over the last six weeks and it has been a privilege to educate and inspire them.”

Former Vikings star John Stankevitch, who set up the foundation in memory of his late mum, said: “The foundation is focused on providing young people with opportunities and experiences that they might not ordinarily get without our support.”
