Efua wanted to encourage different ethnic groups to come together. The club director, Efua, stated to Essexlive that “What I have achieved is investing in young people in Harlow. I can confidently say 98 per cent of all young people I have worked with have not forgotten the cultural values we taught them and 98 per cent have stayed focused and never been wayward..”.
