Show Racism the RED CARD!
Young people at the Crib Youth Centre in Penarth (Leisure Centre) recently took part in a ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ workshop, the campaign against racism in football and society. Ex footballer Christian Roberts delivered an interesting discussion based session at the club and young people were able to talk about their concerns regarding racism. All young people enjoyed this and are now even more passionate about tackling racism in the future.

Show Racism The Red Card - Mission Statement...
Show Racism The Red Card is an anti-racist educational charity. 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.
Show Racism The Red Card acknowledges that racism changes, as do the experiences of Black and Minority Ethnic communities in the UK. Our message and activities therefore need to be able to respond to such changes as and when appropriate.
We achieve this through:
• Producing educational resources
• 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.
