30 years. 1,000s of people. One belief: football can bring us together. Founded in Sheffield in 1996, FURD has spent 30 years challenging racism, breaking down barriers, creating opportunities. This month we're celebrating everyone who's been on the journey with us. Thank you.

Huge congratulations to our first group of learners who have completed their Introduction to Coaching Leadership course! This was a brilliant opportunity for learners to develop their social confidence, communication skills and coaching abilities, helping to put them in a stronger position for future employment. Well done to everyone involved, and we look forward to seeing what the learners go on to achieve! @SouthYorksMCA @furdday #sheffield

Nice to see this has come to fruition - Cameron spent some time in our library consulting our collection of football fanzines for his PhD.

We continue this look at campaigns to tackle divisiveness as Cameron Huggett of the @britishlibrary & Teeside University discussing how football fanzines & anti-racism campaigns intersect in the 1990s and early 2000s.
