Berwick Rangers Football Partners with Her Game Too

Berwick Rangers FC and Berwick Rangers Community Academy are proud to reaffirm their commitment to supporting the growth of women’s football and stamping out discrimination in the sport by partnering with Her Game Too.

The Her Game Too campaign was launched three years ago by a group of passionate female football fans, and it has since grown to include more than 130 volunteers at clubs throughout the country.

With the aim of championing women in all roles throughout the game, the initiative works to ensure that football grounds are a welcoming and comfortable environment for women – both as fans and players – while also coordinating activities and events to promote their values and share positive stories of the achievements of women in football.

Jenny Patterson, Captain of Berwick Rangers Women’s FC said, “At Berwick we are really lucky that the environment here feels safe and welcoming for everyone to enjoy football. Unfortunately sexism still occurs in sport, so the more we can show support in eliminating this then hopefully the better experiences women and girls will have and the more comfortable they will feel to either support or take part in football, or any sport.”

Lauren Butler, who along with Jen Olivieri was one of two women to be appointed to the Berwick Rangers Community Academy Board of Trustees in 2024, said, “I think most female sports fans know the feeling of questioning your sense of belonging in the community. It’s incredibly encouraging to know that Berwick Rangers stands behind not only their female players, but also their female fans, and are actively working to make football a more welcoming place for women. Berwick Chairman Kevin Dixon has already begun demonstrating his commitment to supporting women in sports by appointing two women to the Academy Board of Trustees, and I am confident the support will only continue to grow through this partnership with Her Game Too.”

BRFC and BRCA have exciting plans in place for 2025 and beyond where we will continue to promote the fantastic work delivered across all of our teams alongside Her Game Too. Look for more exciting announcements coming very soon, including a special BRWFC Her Game Too fixture at MKM Shielfield Park in February.
