Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC), founded in January 1996 by then-Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, is the UK's largest anti-racism education charity. It harnesses the visibility and influence of footballers (and other sports) as positive role models to confront and challenge racism. The charity develops and delivers educational workshops in schools, workplaces and stadiums, and produces materials such as DVDs, posters, magazines and teaching packs. SRtRC's mission is to foster understanding, empower communities to oppose discrimination, and promote social cohesion through the unifying power of sport.
