BAMREF & The Fa Mentoring Partnership - Sign Up Now & Become a Mentor
At BAMREF, we are committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in football officiating. Our organisation stands at the forefront of empowering Black, Asian, and Mixed Heritage football officials, ensuring they have the support and resources they need to thrive on the pitch.
The new mentoring programme will see over 40 referee mentors trained up and deployed across the country, providing bespoke support to referees from Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage backgrounds who complete The FA’s bursary funded training course. Mentees will benefit from monthly 1-2-1 meetings with their mentor who will share advice and support as they prepare to referee their first match and beyond.
At 'BAMREF' we aim to give a voice and support to all officials from Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage communities who have experienced racism, discrimination and exclusion to ensure we engage with the relevant footballing authorities and hold all relevant parties accountable.
To be proactive and progressive in the pursuit of equality, inclusion and fairness, while creating a culture of building positive relationships, unifying us all through the love of sport.
'To create the most inclusive network for Black, Asian and Mixed Heritage officials in the sporting world'.
