Respect
Why we lead on Respect
Football is For ALL and should be enjoyed in a safe, fun and inclusive environment, where you and I can play our part.
Respect is an important value in life, not just football. Leading with Respect is important to Lancashire FA and we want to ensure that the match day environments played here are memorable for the right reasons. It’s all about creating the best possible football experiences.
Across our county there are so many people who champion the behaviours of Respect (for example fairness, integrity, inclusion and leadership) and can demonstrate how they have worked to make these behaviours a part of the game in their communities.
We would like to unite the game in our county, by everyone championing Respect and coming together to positively impact one more or even many more.
