JUST A BALL GAME? MEDIA RELEASE- For immediate release.
Serenity Security Solutions
team up with Just a Ball Game?
Serenity Security Solutions have become the
first company from within the security industry to support LGBT campaign
organisation Just a Ball Game? by becoming a partner organisation.
Many football fans and other sports fans
who identify as being LBGT attend games/matches/ events and are subjected to
having to either personally endure or witness what is seen as homophobia or
anti-gay abuse and hear homophobic chants while they watch professional
athletes whom they try to aspire too.
Sadly too many security firms employ
security and stewarding with little or no training and education around
equality and diversity, and these employees turn a blind eye to much of the
homophobia which is around.
It’s hoped that more firms like Serenity
Security Solutions can help bring an end to the abuse and chants if they engage
with Just a Ball Game?’s campaigns.
Both Just a Ball Game? (through patron,
Manchester City Ladies goalkeeper- Andie Worrall) and Serenity Security
Solutions were nominated and have now been short listed for this year’s UK Homo
Hero Awards. Serenity under Business of the Year section, and Andie Worrall as
Role Model of the Year.

This summer Serenity Security solutions
have introduced 'SPIKEY' a drink spiking awareness campaign.
All Serenity’s Door Supervisors have been
given the products ‘SPIKEY’ and ‘Drink Detective’ to hand out to customers for
free in Manchester City Centre venues, which will be displaying posters, to
raise awareness of drink spiking this summer.
Spikey helps prevent drinks from being
spiked in pubs, bars and at parties. It is a brightly coloured plastic “use
once only” stopper that glows in UV light so everyone can see that the drink
has been protected.
“We at Just a Ball Game? are proud to be associated with
serenity who have one of the most diverse workforces in the security sector,”
says founder Lindsay England.
A director for the Manchester based company,
Kamla Uppiah had this to say: “Serenity
Security are proud to support 'Just A Ball Game?', a non-profit, voluntary
organisation who challenge homophobia in sport. We here at Serenity have a zero
tolerance policy on discrimination of any kind and the three core values of
'Just A Ball Game?' which are Safety, Inclusion and Respect are also values
held by Serenity.
Homophobia and hate crimes in sport are
completely unacceptable and we will do what we can to help 'Just A Ball Game?'
spread their message. Sport is something that everyone should be able to enjoy
no matter their race, disability, sex, religion or sexual orientation.”
