A NEW anti-racist education pack will be launched by a North-East charity with the help of footballers at the House of Lords next week.
Based in Whitley Bay, Show Racism the Red Card, now in its seventh year, is an anti-racist education charity which aims to raise awareness among young people about the dangers of racism and the issues surrounding it.
At the launch on Monday, footballers Warren Barton, Curtis Fleming and Shaka Hislop will be presented with awards for their help.
Show Racism the Red Card spokesman Geb Grebby said: "Racism remains a major force for society to tackle and is a particular issue for young people, who are over represented in official statistics, both as perpetrators and victims of racial harassment.
