A key strength of the Show Racism the Red Card campaign is the support from sporting clubs and we are constantly looking to increase and strengthen our partnerships with clubs throughout the UK.
PROFESSIONAL CLUBS
Some examples of ways in which clubs can engage with the campaign are:
- Producing a team poster with the campaign
- Working with the campaign to organise high profile anti-racist events at the club
- Using Show Racism the Red Card’s resources in the study support centre and Football in the Community schemes
- Helping to promote the national Show Racism the Red Card Anti-Racist School Competition
- Working with the campaign to set up a programme of anti-racist education
- Hosting an Anti Racism stance of Action during the FOA
SRtRC hold events at professional clubs in England, Scotland and Wales with local school children who have the opportunity to ask questions on racism in football and society to professional football players at their stadium.
