Diversity Wins was part of a 24-month anti-racism and discrimination project, involving collaboration with clubs across Europe.

The Foundation’s project focused on schools and communities within London, exploring themes of racism and intolerance, where it comes from, how it affects others and how society can work together to stop it from happening.

The schools education department successfully delivered Diversity Wins across three phases, working with 29 primary schools and engaging with more than 1,300 participants. Included in the programme model were a variety of exciting opportunities for the young people such as football workshop sessions at Stamford Bridge.

More than 100 teachers took part in a special training development session, given the opportunity to upskill their knowledge and delivery around equality, diversity and inclusion.

Using the power of integration and collaboration, we were able to unite young people through our grassroots campaign as we visited local football clubs to discuss the impact of positive values in and off the field.

Alfie Butwell, education officer at Chelsea Foundation, said: ‘Educating the next generation of young people around these topics has been important to create the next generation of positive role models who celebrate differences and diversity.

‘Young people can come together rather than cause harm and pain. We are all really proud of the effect the programme has had on our local community.’

Miss Klotz, of Roehampton Church School, added: ‘Chelsea Foundation delivered these topics very effectively and the children at Roehampton Church School really benefitted from these sessions. Thank you!’
