You may be aware that this coming weekend sees the English football family coming together to boycott social media in response to the ongoing and sustained discriminatory abuse received online by players and many others connected to football.

We at Hendon Football Club fully stands in solidarity with anyone who has been a victim of online abuse, therefore we fully support this move and as a result will be taking part in the boycott. Between 15:00 on Friday 30th April and 23:59 on Monday 3rd May there will be no posts to the Hendon FC Twitter, Instagram or Facebook pages.

In addition we urge social media companies to do much more to eradicate online hate, whilst highlighting the importance of educating people in the ongoing fight against all kinds of discrimination.
