Equity, Diversity &  Inclusion Statement

Deepdale stadium, the home of Preston North End Football Club, is one of the most iconic buildings in the city of Preston, with the ability to accommodate over 20,000 people. The influence a football club has on its local community cannot be under estimated and with the potential footfall within our stadium and associated premises, we have the opportunity to positively increase connections with our fan base and wider communities when equity, diversity and inclusion is held at the core of all of our operations. Our Board ED&I Champion holds responsibility for ensuring ED&I and mental health and well-being is embedded within all aspects of the club.

Whether you’re a player, official, employee, volunteer, spectator or visitor, Preston North End welcomes people from all backgrounds and are committed to preventing and eradicating all forms of discrimination, whether this be on the grounds of sex, sexual orientation, race, age, disability, religion or belief, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment and marriage or civil partnership status.

The club’s ED&I committee is working towards making Preston North End as accessible as possible to all, removing barriers and providing opportunities to engage with diverse communities through our #OneNorthEnd campaign. The club has a zero tolerance policy on any form of hateful or discriminatory behavior and encourages anybody who witnesses any such behavior to report this to the club using the appropriate methods. We all have a shared interest and passion in seeing the success of Preston North End. Football is for everyone and should be enjoyed by all who wish to participate.
