Chelsea launch website for ‘Say No to Antisemitism’ campaign
Blues' chairman says the site was launched because 'education is absolute key to changing attitudes and make a difference'
Chelsea Football Club has launched a new website to promote its campaign against antisemitism.
The platform will feature updates from the Blues’ initiative, launched in 2018, and funded by its Israeli owner, Roman Abramovich.
Visitors to the ‘Say No’ website can learn about its educational initiatives to battle Jew-hatred, racism and discrimination, in the game and wider society.
These include talks by Holocaust survivors, pre-match remembrance for Holocaust Memorial Day, an exhibition featuring Jewish athletes murdered by the Nazis and a fixture against New England Revolution in the United States, which raised money for causes battling hatred.
Bruce Buck, Chelsea FC Chairman commented on the launch: “Since we started our ‘Say No To Antisemitism’ campaign, we have become convinced that education is absolute key to changing attitudes and make a difference.”
In the next stage of our campaign, we have developed this new website to make the educational resources of our campaign easily accessible for all, and hopefully encourage more people to join this important cause.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
