Rainbow Laces Roundup
After a host of postponements, our Rainbow Laces fixture finally went ahead this past weekend as the Blades ran out 2-0 winners against Luton Town. The Foundation teamed up with the club and Rainbow Blades to drive forward the message of inclusivity.
Below are just some of the activities we’ve hosted and been a part of. We look forward to organising many more in the near future!

What a great day at Bramall Lane yesterday was! To finally get to see the #RainbowLaces game go ahead after postponements was amazing, and to see all the SUFC staff wearing Rainbow lanyards was a lovely added touch! 🌈
2-0 win to go with it too! UTB ⚔️🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/SO557QeAUj
