Lewes Football Club re-launch gender equality campaign
The East Sussex football team brought back the drive during Sexual Violence Awareness week, a year after it was previously introduced, calling on men at the club to stand up to discrimination on and off the pitch.

The club is collaborating with Sussex-based charity Survivors Network and will have male staff members and players encouraged to take part in the organisation’s Bystander Training.
