This coming Friday the first Herefordshire Dignity Day Community Event is taking place at Hereford United's Starlite Rooms.

A variety of subjects that will be presented which will all share the common themes of promoting Dignity and also supporting Carers in our workforce.

Amidst the speakers are Falklands veteran Simon Weston OBE and well-known local businessman Clive Richards OBE.



Also speaking will be Luke Graham, the Hereford United club captain. He will talk on the subject of 'Promoting Dignity Through Sport' in particular the 3D's campaign and how Dignity is promoted on and off the pitch.

Blue Square Conference & Football Association promoting Dignity and Respect in football but runs across all sport. The Olympics provided an amazing opportunity for the whole country to be part of a celebration of all that is good in sport – unfortunately there is a huge amount of negative press linked to poor attitudes and behaviour within sport too – (recent examples – Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods, John Terry & Rio Ferdinand). Many young people look up to their sporting heroes and mimic their behaviours. Sport can also save a lot of young people from a life that may not be so positive e.g. drink, drugs etc as they have a focus such as playing football. Team spirit is a vital part of this and a sense of belonging and accessibility to sport and leisure activities is really important.

There are a few places remaining for the event which starts at 9.30am - for more details please ring the club on 0844 276 1939
