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’s online education platform, The Education Hub, launched only in February this year, has now surpassed 10,000 registered users!
In a powerful collaboration aimed at combatting racism and promoting inclusivity, Show Racism the Red Card joined forces with Tottenham Hotspur FC to host an educational event that left a lasting impact on over 60 young pupils.
On the 5th of September SRtRC celebrated the launch of our Wear Red Day 2023 campaign with our trade union partners in London at a special event hosted by Unite the Union.
On the 11th of September, SRtRC will be hosting a meeting alongside the NEU as part of the TUC conference in Liverpool, marking the next phase of launching our ‘Migration. Making Britian Great’ campaign.
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. Across Britain, Show Racism the Red Card delivers training to more than 50,000 individuals per year.
