Partnership with Leicestershire and Rutland FA
We are proud of our diverse community and as the local governing body for grassroots football, we are firmly committed to equality in all areas of our work, helping to ensure that groups and individuals of all backgrounds are given the same opportunities within the game.
Building upon our achievement of the Equality Standard for Sport Foundation Level, the Leicestershire and Rutland County FA is now working to develop our Equality Action Plan; to advance equality and increase participation. Feedback from this process highlighted the need to consider how we attract people from more diverse backgrounds and how the county FA is perceived by people from more diverse backgrounds.
Football Delhi is delighted to share our innovative partnership with Leicestershire and Rutland County FA. The two organisations have partnered to develop their understanding, awareness, and approach to providing football in the best possible environment.
Some of our key aims through the partnership are:
- To share ideas, good practices and to work collaboratively to grow opportunities in football for all.
- To better understand different approaches to football and the culture of football, in particular for those football stakeholders and their local communities.
- Develop their football workforce of staff, coaches, referees and volunteers to serve and develop football for their local communities in a safe environment
We are working to ensure that Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are embedded across the Association’s activities and that football is representative of our local communities. Creating a culture where people from all backgrounds feel they can become part of a CFA, leagues and clubs is pivotal in creating lasting change.
