Chanting workshop
Donna McPhail, award-winning stand-up comic, writer, radio presenter, and, of course, a co-owner of 100% community-owned Lewes FC. Donna is a seasoned football fan and an incorrigible chanter of dodgy anthems. In this workshop she uses her unique performance experience to unearth the latent football chanter and terrace warrior in all of us. She is inspired by the New Zealand Women’s Rugby team’s Haka, and proud of it.
Karen Dobres one of Lewes FC’s Board Directors, to give a potted version of the submerged history of women’s football, and also by players from Lewes FC Women who will personally explain how it feels to be supported by chanting fans (The Twelfth Woman).

How to parent through turbulent times whether you’ve got a budding Greta Thunberg or one who can barely raise their face from a screen. The kids who care don’t understand why we don’t seem to be doing anything; and they’re hurt by our inactivity and full of righteous rage. We’re losing their respect. The kids who don’t seem bothered are too busy blasting each other on Fortnite or sharing cute kitten pics to see what’s really happening around them. Either way, we adults are getting it wrong. Come figure out how we can do it differently.
