Welcome to
Proud Baggies

Proud Baggies joined a host of teams from the Albion family at the start of a week of activities celebrating WBA's rich and diverse cultures in the run up to the BCFC game on Friday 29th March. Two Proud Baggies' teams played a hard fought match alongside representatives from Blues4All, Apna Albion, the WBA girls U12s and a pan disability team.

Last week our Founder and Chair, Piero Zizzi was a key note speaker at the Football Safety Officers Association Spring Conference. During his speech, Piero discussed how football can be a key agent of societal change and highlighted the work Proud Baggies are doing with WBA to make the Hawthorns a safe and welcoming  environment for the LGBT+ community.

February's edition of ZONE Magazine, the UK's biggest regional LGBT+ lifestyle magazine features an interview with our founder and Chair, Piero Zizzi - and what a great read it is!  

We're delighted to be recognised as Football vs. Homophobia 2019 Champions for our LGBT+ awareness work with WBA FC. You can see our work and the other activities we'll be supporting this month via our social media channels. 

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding from the European FARE Network to support the promotion of LGBT+ inclusion during this February's Football vs Homophobia month of action. Proud Baggies were one of only 2 recipients of funding in the UK.
