Football club gets behind White Ribbon campaign to end violence

The Foundation has been backing the national campaign for more than three years and has received a plaque recognising the organisation as official White Ribbon ambassadors in the

community.

The Foundation has been taking part in the ‘16 Days of Action’ campaign engaging with as many people as possible to drive home the important message that there is never any excuse

for abuse.

As part of its commitment to the cause, the Foundation team were recently pictured in the community with an out-sized white ribbon to attract attention and raise awareness while the first

team players donned t-shirts pledging their support.

Foundation director Wesley Partington said he was pleased to be able to support such a worthwhile cause.

He added: “Everyone at the Foundation, alongside the staff and players at the Football Club support this campaign.

“There is no excuse for abuse, and we wanted to help deliver this powerful message across our local community.

“Our staff have been proudly wearing their White Ribbons alongside the first team players in their campaign t-shirts to show our solidarity.”
