We aim to combat racism through enabling role models, who are predominately but not exclusively footballers, to present an anti-racist message to young people and others. Our message and activities therefore need to be able to respond to such changes as and when appropriate. Developing activities to encourage people, including young people, to challenge racism.

In parts of the UK, challenging racism in the game of football and other sports. Our Annual Review details our work, achievements and projects throughout the year. Read it online here. Get Involved. In the summer of , we produced an education magazine around the issues of racism in the North East.

I think we have to continue doing that. Since the Covid pandemic meant that fans were not allowed to attend football league matches across England, the majority of racial abuse has come in the form of social media. Bennett has called on social media companies to do more to combat racism and hold people accountable for their actions. If somebody if found guilty of putting any racist comments on social media, then what happens is that they might be banned for a week or two weeks.

But they are allowed to come back on. Players can wear 'respect' on their arms, but without zero tolerance of racist abuse, it stands as an empty gesture. People talk about fines. Do fines do anything to football clubs or players? Grebby says that the current social climate and the Black Lives Matter movement has helped identify the importance of anti-racism educational charities. Bennett thinks that the impact professional footballers have on helping raising awareness for the charity has a massive in part in how it has got to where it is today.

We talk about football, shall we say, is a very, very powerful tool. Because of the background, the message which he was trying to get out, and being a footballer, it was well, well highlighted.

Elina Kukk, who works with Show Racism the Red Card, says it is crucial people are educated about racism.
