A group of youngsters from Barrow have been helping to spread the word about the fight against discrimination.
Year seven and eight pupils from a variety of schools across the town were at The Dunes Hotel Stadium for a unique workshop specially devised and delivered by Anti-Racist Cumbria.
They followed that up with a visit to the Barrow game with Walsall when they were special guests of the Bluebirds.
The club, the All Bluebirds committee, the Bluebirds Trust and the Community Trust have all worked together with Anti-Racist Cumbria as part of the drive, which has the backing of Fans for Diversity.
The schoolchildren were able to discuss racism within their groups, overseen by trained facilitators, to deepen their knowledge about discrimination and encourage them to continue to talk about it with their friends, families, communities and schools.
The workshop is part of a wider All Bluebirds, All Welcome campaign and Barrow were delighted to welcome the youngsters, along with the facilitators and staff from Anti-Racist Cumbria to Saturday’s fixture against The Saddlers.
At half time they were announced onto the pitch at The Dunes Hotel Stadium and had photos taken in front of a new banner designed to cement the club’s commitment to stamping out discrimination in all its forms.
