Our Clubs are where we belong. Racism harms the game we love.
That's why we teamed up with @furdday to take part in a special tournament, bringing together Sheffield's rival clubs with a very important message.
Now and always, Together Against Racism.🖤
#EFLTogether #TogetherAgainstRacism
Sheffield United, @CommunitySUFC, @swfc and @furdday teamed up earlier this week with 'One Goal' in mind.
Our collective mission is to send a powerful message across the city, that there is absolutely no room for racial inequality in our sport, our clubs, or our community.
Delighted to join the celebrations for FURD's 30th anniversary! It was a pleasure to be part of the panel discussion and speak about the importance of long-term investment in community initiatives.
Organisations like FURD are at the heart of our communities, and it's important that they continue to receive the support they need to deliver their invaluable work.
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.
Come along, meet other young musicians and learn, create and develop your skills across:
DJing, beat making, vocal recording, live band jams
Whether you’re just getting started or already making music, get involved and develop your skills in a supportive environment.
Our music sessions for young people are back! Running in collaboration with Spring Tank Studios, they're at @UMixSheffield on Tuesdays and at Spring Tank Studios, Randall Street on Thursdays.
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!

Coming soon - our 'Holiday Activities and Food' programme, including lunch, for 8-16 year olds. Free for children who get benefits-related free school meals. It's funded by the Department for Education. Places are limited so booking is essential.
@StanCollymore And we have places like UMix in Sheffield, home of 'Football Unites Racism Divides' @furdday where everybody from ayslum seekers to old codgers like me can play and socialise. It's part of our intangible culture.
