About Us | Our Story
Show Racism the Red Card is an anti-racism charity that has been growing since 1995 when footballer Shaka Hislop donated £50 to a local anti-racism campaign in Newcastle upon Tyne. Show Racism the Red Card is now active in the United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Ireland. The charity was formally launched in Ireland in 2006.
