Brentford stars surprise students to speak about power of allyship

LGBTQ+ Inclusion

Bees players such as Damsgaard visit a local primary school to talk about diversity and inclusion during the Rainbow Laces period

Brentford players such Mikkel Damsgaard, Christian Norgaard and Mads Roeslev recently paid a visit to a local primary school in west London to speak about allyship. 

The Premier League is committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and through the Premier League Primary Stars programme offers packs to teachers to give students the opportunity to talk about the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport and beyond.

Pupils can learn about the Rainbow Laces campaign,​ how to be an ally, and demonstrate active allyship to ​the LGBTQ+ community by creating rainbow flags. Pupils will also look at the history of football’s ​involvement with Rainbow Laces.
