Tigers Trust proud to support Stonewall’s Rainbow Laces campaign

 

According to a recent report from the charity, 20% of sport fans think anti-LGBTQ+ language is harmless if it is just meant as banter.

These laces will be given to participants of the following programmes: 

 

 

Richard Dexter, Head of Programmes at the Trust, said he is “delighted” to be able to support a campaign such as this. 

 

“Being able to work alongside our funders and partners to increase visibility of the LGBTQ+ community is incredibly important,” he said. 

 

“As an organisation, we have a responsibility to make sure all participants, staff and associates feel valued and proud of who they are. 

 

“Equality, diversity and inclusion remain priorities for the Trust as we continue to challenge discrimination and celebrate differences.”
