Football vs Homophobia Awards Nominations and Episode Five of our Podcast
As we head into 2022, everyone at Proud Lilywhites wants to wish all our members, their families and beyond a Happy New Year!
Dear <<First Name (required)>>,
Happy New Year! What a year we all just lived through, from behind closed eyes football, to four First-Team coaches, to ending the year undefeated under Antonio Conte.
Aside from football, the last two years/18 months have been difficult for a lot of people, and although Covid-19 and Omicron are still heavily weighing on everyone's minds, everyone at Proud Lilywhites is here for you on a daily basis if you need any support.
Our men's and women's side enjoyed success towards the end of last year and long may it continue as we head into a new year.
Now is your chance to vote for Proud Lilywhites!
For the past two seasons, Football v Homophobia has held annual Awards to recognise great work on LGBTQ+ inclusion happening across the game. It is time again for you to nominate those clubs, organisations, groups and individuals who you feel have been making a difference in the past year!
The deadline to vote is the 14th January, and if you think we at Proud Lilywhites have done and fulfilled our duty, you can nominate us! Also, you can nominate the club for the work and the support they show us on a regular basis.
The categories that apply to us would be:
- Supporters Group
- Professional Game
If you think we are deserving, you can cast your nomination HERE.
🎙 Building on from our Proud Lilywhites’ Proud Champions launch, episode five of the Proud Lilywhites podcast was released in December. We spoke about why it might be good for supporters groups to get involved.
💬 “They may not want to reach out. They may not want to ‘out’ themselves. But knowing that their local supporters’ group is a Proud Champion, that may make it feel like a more welcome & inclusive environment.”
🗓 New episodes are published monthly, tune into the first five episodes here before episode six is released in the coming weeks.
We are always here for you if you ever need any help or support as a New Year begins.
With fixtures coming thick and fast at the moment, we have WhatsApp groups for both the men's and women's teams to communicate meet up locations on matchdays.
Men's Matchday Meetups join HERE
Women's Matchday Meetups join HERE
On top of all that you can keep in touch with your fellow Proud Lilywhites on our general WhatsApp chat group or if you prefer, our Facebook group is also open for you to connect with each other on.
Tell us what you want!
As always, we're keen to have your idea for events we can run online, so please do let us know. You can submit your ideas here.
