Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is the UK’s leading anti-racism education charity – using the high profile of iconic professional footballers as role-models that stand in solidarity against racism in society. Not only does the charity provide invaluable educational resources, but they deliver programmes of direct anti-racism education to over 50,000 young people and more than 6,000 adults every year – pretty impressive right?!
At Kickers, we believe there’s SO much importance in standing up for what you believe, and be the change you want to see. We’re proud to support meaningful charities and since the beginning of our story in 1970, have always led with our heart.
Our Kickers’ soul has been at the soles of change-makers near and far, from the school yard to the world stage. We like to stand up and celebrate unity and diversity – it’s what we’re about and what makes the Kickers’ community what it is.
You might know us as the iconic school shoe that’s tread playgrounds and classrooms for decades… well we want to do more than just be worn in school – we want to help educate, and make a change in society. That’s why we see Show Racism the Red Card as the perfect charity partner.
With our partnership, we’ll be working with SRtRC on exclusive events, activities, competitions and lots lots more – continuing to shine a light on educating against racism in society and making a positive change in the community.
“I encourage all schools to get involved with the SRtRC Competition… the quality of the young people’s artwork is always very high, the kids all love getting involved and Show Racism the Red Card is a really good and important message.”
Christine Blower, former General Secretary, National Education Union

Paul Kearns, Deputy Chief Executive SRtRC
