United will sign up to Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme, which helps employers embed LGBT+ inclusion in the workplace, and gain access to expert consultation, training and dedicated resources from Stonewall to support the club’s work on LGBT+ inclusion.
This will include participation in Stonewall’s Workplace Allies programme to help non-LGBT employees across the club and Manchester United Foundation find ways to actively support and promote an LGBT-inclusive culture.
The partnership builds on Manchester United’s existing commitment to LGBT+ inclusion since it became the first football club to join Stonewall’s TeamPride coalition in 2017, using the power of sport to promote equality and tackle discrimination in sport and wider society.
