The Liverpool Football Club are proud to host this year's national
awards ceremony for Show Racism the Red Card's (SRtRC) school
competition.
SRtRC would take place on Tuesday April 28 at Anfield, is an
anti-racism educational charity that utilises the high-profile status
of football and its star players in order to help tackle racism in
society.
The majority of the campaign's output is the delivery of education to
young people and adults in schools, workplaces and at events held in
football stadiums.
Each year, they deliver training to more than 50,000 individuals
across Britain, as well as organising the largest equalities-themed
competition for schools in England.
Thousands of young people of all ages and abilities, enter by
producing artwork, creative writing, film and music pieces with an
anti-racism theme.
Anfield would join a long list of venues that have hosted the SRtRC
ceremony over the years.
The Etihad Stadium, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, St James's Park,
Wembley Stadium, Villa Park and the Emirates Stadium have also held
the event.
SRtRC Deputy Chief Executive, Paul Kearns, said: "It's brilliant news
that Liverpool FC has agreed to host the awards ceremony.
"We'll be working with the club to make this event a really special
one for the winners of this year's competition in England.
Mr Kearns showing his eagerness, said "I can't wait to see the
entries. it's always great to see the work about racism that young
people throughout the country have produced.
"I know that this will be a really exciting incentive for young people
from all over the UK, but particularly Liverpool and Merseyside, to
get their entries in to this year's competition," Paul added.
