Nottingham Ball Bois FC engage in regular activities with the local community and beyond, raising awareness of the club and wider issues of homophobia in sport.

We have a presentation on homophobia in sport which also looks at the role of the club and the Justin Fashanu story. This has been taken to local gay community groups such as Breakout and Outburst in Nottingham and Reach Out in Derby.

Members of the club have made appeareances on local radio in the East Midlands, and we also took part in a BBC TV documentary on homophobia in football.

The Ballbois took part in a demonstration match at Portland College, a college in Mansfield for young adults with disabilities, as part of their equality open day.

We are a regular fixture at Pride events in Nottingham and Derby, and have also had a presence at a Nottingham exhibition to commemorate LGBT history month.

The Ballbois have acted as advisers to local goverment and media bodies on issues around homophobia in sport, and we have collaborated with Nottingham Forest FC as part of the FA's national anti-homophobia campaign.

Community activities are listed in our events section (under the 'other activities' category).
