Walsall FC has partnered with local healthcare trust and charities to raise awareness of domestic abuse during the FIFA World Cup. The campaign will be launched on social media and will culminate with a marketplace event on Friday 17 July. The event will bring staff, partners, and members of the community together to encourage conversations about domestic abuse, highlight available support services, and promote safety and wellbeing during the World Cup. A variety of activities will be on offer throughout the day, including table football, Subbuteo, cakes, raffle prizes, and giveaways. Rachel Dale, Lead Nurse for Safeguarding Adults and Trust Prevent Lead, said: 'The World Cup is a time when many people come together to enjoy and celebrate football, but sadly major tournaments also coincide with an increase in incidents of domestic abuse.' Adam Davy, Director of Walsall FC Foundation, added: 'The club and foundation always look to support local activities and use the power of Walsall FC to raise awareness. Over the years, we have supported a variety of groups that support people who have experienced abuse, and we support the White Ribbon campaign each season, in partnership with Walsall Council.'
