No Room for Racism
At Nottingham Forest Community Trust, our commitment to equality is at the heartbeat of everything we do. As the Premier League marks its No Room For Racism campaign, we stand united with the league, the club, and our supporters to send a clear message: There is no room for racism. Anywhere.
While this campaign highlights the ongoing fight against prejudice, our work at the Trust continues 365 days a year. We believe that football has a unique power to unite people from all walks of life, and we are dedicated to ensuring that the City Ground and our local communities remain inclusive spaces for everyone.
Through No Room For Racism, the Premier League and its clubs work with fans, the FA, EFL, PFA, Kick It Out and the police to fight against discrimination on and off the pitch, promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across all areas of football.
Impact in Action: The 2025/26 Season
This season has been a standout year for our community outreach, with our first-team stars taking an active role in inspiring the next generation.
Premier League Kicks with Ola Aina & Callum Hudson-Odoi
Earlier this season, Ola and Callum joined our Premier League Kicks sessions, engaging with young people from diverse backgrounds across Nottingham. Their presence on the pitch wasn’t just about football skills; it was about sharing their journeys, discussing the importance of resilience, and reinforcing that every young person – regardless of their background – belongs in the Forest family.
School Collapsed Curriculum Days
Our education team has been working tirelessly in local primary and secondary schools. Through our Collapsed Curriculum days, we’ve delivered workshops focused on the history of diversity in football and the impact of allyship.
Tackling Abuse in the Digital Age
While we work on the ground in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, the fight against racism also extends to the digital world. We know that online abuse can have a devastating impact on players, staff, and their families.
As part of the Premier League’s ongoing commitment, a dedicated specialist team is now in place to track and tackle online discriminatory abuse. Using advanced monitoring technology and rapid reporting systems, the League works to identify abusers – even those hiding behind anonymous accounts – and takes action through stadium bans and legal prosecutions.
This season, the League has reinforced that there is no “safe space” for hate online. Whether it is a comment on social media or a direct message, the message is clear: Challenge it. Report it. Change it.
If you see online abuse directed at players, managers, coaches, match officials and their families, you can report it to the Premier League here.
If you witness any form of discriminatory behaviour at the City Ground or online, we urge you to report it. You can speak to the nearest steward or use the club’s anonymous reporting text service on 80800 and start your message with ‘FOREST’.
