Show Racism the Red Card was established in January 1996, thanks in part to a donation by then Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
In 1990s Newcastle, Shaka was at a petrol station near St James’ Park when he was confronted with a group of young people shouting racist abuse at him. After one of the group realised that they had been shouting at Shaka Hislop, the Newcastle United football player, they came over to ask for an autograph.
Show Racism the Red Card Wales is delighted to announce our Windrush-themed education pack, “Windrush Then and Now”, containing anti-racism resources and activities for pupils. These resources have been designed to link messages of anti-racism and the celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the HMT Empire Windrush arriving in Britain. The activities within the pack are aligned to the new Curriculum for Wales and can be used within their lessons in the lead up to, during and after Windrush Day on 22nd June 2023.
Show Racism the Red Card are excited to announce our Scottish School’s Showcase.
Newcastle United’s collaboration with the “Show Racism the Red Card” campaign proved to be a powerful platform for promoting anti-racism and hate crime training for young people. The event, held at the club’s prestigious St James’s Park, encompassed a full day of activities aimed at raising awareness and fostering inclusivity. The young people attended joined us from Walkgergate, Our Lady St Anne’s and Atkinson Road Primary School.
Show Racism the Red Card held several educational events at various Football clubs in March, April and May. Here’s a brief round-up of the events.
Watch our honorary president Shaka Hislop, CEO Ged Grebby, and a host of faces from our organisation look back at 25 years of Show Racism the Red Card.
Shaka Hislop is joined by an array of star sportspeople, from John Barnes to Tony Bellew, and Gareth Southgate to Nigel de Jong.
We provide educational workshops, training sessions, multimedia packages, and a whole host of other resources, all with the purpose of tackling racism in society. Established in January 1996, the organisation utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to publicise its message.
