[1] Show Racism the Red Card started in North Tyneside and now has offices in the United Kingdom as well as other countries.

Ged Grebby, who founded the charity, was an active member in Youth against Racism in Europe, which sent educational packs to schools.

[4][5] Since then it has grown both in the UK where it has offices in Whitley Bay, Glasgow and Cardiff, as well as in Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

It features high-profile footballers such as Thierry Henry, Derek Ferguson, Mustapha Hadji, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o talking about the issue alongside the experiences of young people.

SRTRC runs an annual schools competition[6] where young people produce their own work against racism in the form of posters,[7] poems, animations and films.

The North East winning entry[9] was ‘Choose your team, not your colour’ created by a pupil, not very far from St James' Park, attending a school in Ouston.
