Fortnight of Action 16 - 30 October 2007

Show Racism the Red Card's annual Fortnight of Action takes place 16 - 30 October 2007. This period of concerted action encourages participation from all sections of Scotland's communities to celebrate diversity and tackle racism.

Last year's series of events was a great success with over 300 actions involving minority ethnic groups, community organisations, all 42 professional clubs, football fans, schools and young people nationwide.

To help fund the organisation of events or activities during October SRTRC has joined forces with the Scottish Executive as part of the One Scotland campaign and Unison - the public services trade union to offer grants of up to £1,000 for community-based initiatives. SRTRC has targeted the grants at innovative projects that challenge racism, celebrate diversity or overcome exclusion throughout Scotland.

We are particularly keen to encourage participation from groups working outside the central belt.
