The Campaign

Show Racism the Red Card is part of the FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) network.

Show Racism the Red Card is an anti-racist charity (Registered Charity no: 1116971, Reg. Company No:5834708) which was established in January 1996 with the aim of using Professional footballers as anti-racist role models. Although racism is on the decline in professional football, it is unfortunately on the increase in British and indeed European society. The aim of our campaign is to combat racism through anti-racist education and professional footballers are showing the way in terms of making a stand and fighting racism.

The campaign has been able to involve hundreds of top footballers and managers, and has harnessed the high profile of these role models to combat racism.

We produce a number of educational resources including: films, DVD, education packs, posters and magazines. The Show Racism The Red Card film on VHS or DVD and education pack is available for £20 including p&p; via post: PO Box 141, Whitley Bay, NE26 3YH; or fax: 0191 257 8541.

Our posters and magazines are free - £2.00 A4 SAE for 22 posters and £1.00 stamps on A4 SAE for 1
magazine. You can also download a picture of your favourite team as a screen-saver. Show Racism the Red Card run a UK-wide School Competition annually, pupils enter anti-racist artwork, poetry, short stories or their own videos. Please refer to the Schools section of the site for details on this year's competition.
