The organisation utilises the high-profile status of football and football players to help tackle racism in society. The majority of the campaign’s output is the delivery of education to young people and adults in their schools, their workplaces and at events held in football stadiums. Across Britain, Show Racism the Red Card delivers training to more than fifty-thousand individuals per year.

Adam, speaking after the news was confirmed, said; "I am delighted to become a Show Racism the Red Card patron and to join the fantastic list of other footballers who have helped the campaign over the last 20 years."
Ged Grebby, Show Racism the Red Card Chief Executive, added; "Adam becomes the 4th club captain to join our patrons list in the last year. The use of footballers as anti-racism role-models is central to the ethos of the campaign and it is always great to have current professional footballers involved in our work."
