Serenity for Just a Ball Game

Serenity for 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 and 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.
