Young referees United against racism

Over the last few months, a series of anti-racism workshops and training sessions have been delivered at Foundation partner schools and for club and Foundation staff members. Most recently, a referee workshop was delivered by the Manchester FA at Levenshulme High School for Girls.

Funding for the courses was raised by Manchester United fans, through sales of Black Lives Matter-branded home shirts last season. An incredible £14,277 was raised, which was donated to Kick It Out before being allocated back to the Foundation’s inclusion programmes.

Levenshulme High School was chosen for the referee workshop as one of Greater Manchester’s most diverse communities, allowing the Foundation to support young people to achieve equality outcomes.
