About This Programme:

What are LGBTQ+ identities and why are they important to talk about in football? It comes down to this: winning teams have cultures that allow all players to thrive, no matter their identities.

Stonewall covers basic introductions to LGBTQ+ identities which builds confidence and knowledge. The delivery will explore the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ people in football and also cover tips on how to support LGBTQ+ people to help create winning environments for everyone.

The workshop delivered to U9-U16 players will focus on anti-bullying, with U18-U23 players and staff set to receive this education from a performance-oriented lens. On request, this education can be adapted to help tackle any specific or current issues.
