This collaboration marks a significant step in promoting diversity and tackling racism both on and off the pitch.

A shared vision for change

The West Wales Women & Girls League has always been about more than football; it’s about creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment where everyone can thrive. Partnering with SRtRC aligns seamlessly with this vision, reflecting a shared commitment to using the power of sport to drive meaningful social change.

1. Host Anti-Racism Workshops: Educational sessions will be delivered to players, coaches, and volunteers, focusing on understanding and addressing racism in sports and beyond.

2. Raise Awareness: Matchdays will feature campaigns and activities promoting the SRtRC message, including teams wearing the iconic red cards to show their support.

3. Promote Reporting Mechanisms: A streamlined process will be implemented to encourage reporting of discriminatory behavior, ensuring swift and effective action.

4. Support Continuous Learning: Resources and training opportunities will be made available to all league participants to foster a culture of inclusion.
