Leicester City striker Andrej Kramarić was on hand to support Leicester City Council’s ‘How Many Times’ campaign at Grace Road on Thursday.

The campaign brought together a wide range of sporting figures to increase reporting of domestic and sexual violence across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Athletes from football, county cricket, rugby, basketball and university teams, including Andrej, were all invited to show their support in trying to tackle the problem.
Club Ambassador Alan 'The Birch' Birchenall told LCFC.com: “To see so many people come out and support this campaign is fantastic, and hopefully, it’ll go a long way in helping to stop domestic and sexual violence."
“I think it is their duty as sportsmen and women to make a stand against violence, because people look up to them as role models.”
The campaign aims to increase awareness of the helplines that are available for men or women who have suffered from domestic or sexual violence.
‘How Many Times’ is funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Clive Loader and is led by Safer Leicester Partnership, which is made up of local agencies, including the police, fire and rescue, city council and victim and witness support services.
