REDDITCH MP Karen Lumley is lending her support to Show Racism the Red Card to become The FA’s charity of the year for 2011.
Mrs Lumley recently joined ex-professional footballers, representatives from the FA and members of the charity at Parliament.
She said: “I can think of no other group that has worked so hard and so effectively to condemn racism, both within football and our society as a whole.
“I wish them all the best of luck with their bid.”
Show Racism the Red Card, established in 1996, aims to harness the potential of professional footballers as anti-racist role models and to combat racism through education.
