PEOPLE OF LACES💙 As we wrap up on October, it’s important to us as a club to highlight that the conversation of the contributions that people of Black & Caribbean heritage have made on football in the UK doesn’t stop here. It’s much more than a month of celebration and reflection. Here at Laces, we take pride on ensuring that we continue the conversation and promote diversity of all forms within the game - at every level. Club legend and True Blues captain, Jo B (she/her) couldn’t have said it any better.. ‘It’s very important to Laces that we create a safe space for our players to be themselves’ ‘We don’t do trials, we are on trial too us’ #PeopleofLaces #WeAreLaces #BlackHistoryMonth Filmed & Produced by: @_coleblack

In this special episode of our community-lead series, we sit down with a true Laces’ legend and grassroots hero to many, Big Florz (she/her) to discuss her journey into football, inspirations, and time here at Laces (from the very start nearly 10 years ago!). Nobody deserves their flowers more than our captain and leader, Florz! “When I’m playing football, I want to be the face that other black girls can see” #PeopleofLaces #WeAreLaces Filmed & Produced by: @_coleblack 💚❤️💛

Episode 2: People of Laces💙 Here at South London Laces, community is what unites us both on and off the pitch. It’s the people who make our club so special from our players and volunteers to our club supporters (the famous FLAPS) and wider local partners. In the latest episode of our community-lead series, we speak with our legendary co-founder and club player, Beth (she/her) to discuss what success looks like here at SLL. ‘Success here at South London Laces is much more than winning on the pitch. It’s about people coming to Laces, making friends, seeing those friends outside of the football space, and being their authentic selves.’ ‘We pride ourselves on creating safe spaces for women & non-binary players, always focusing on the bigger picture. It’s about our chosen family. And, that is how real success is measured here at Laces.’ More coming soon🗣️ #PeopleofLaces #WeAreLaces Filmed & Produced by: @_coleblack
