Join shado and Comfort’s Anglels for a celebration of the power of football, the power of women, and the strength of community action.
In collaboration with Amnesty International and This Fan Girl, shado has created a documentary short about Comfort’s Angels – the football team bringing inclusion and integration for refugees and people seeking asylum in Liverpool.
Join them for the premiere, where they will screen the documentary (5 mins) and hold a space of welcome and celebration for the football team, their families, and members of the local Liverpool community. They’ll also be hearing from Comfort, founder of Comfort’s Angels and Stu Carrington, the angels’ coach.
At the event they will be bringing together the individuals and organisations working to make Liverpool a welcoming space so they encourage you to stay, chat and celebrate the power of collective action and community!
Doors will open at 2pm and the film (5 minutes long) will be screened at 2.30pm
Food will be provided, along with free juice for children. There will also be a bar for adults.

Ninjababy
Rakel lives life to the full. An avid beer drinker and regular party animal, she is less interested in a relationship than the odd enjoyable pickup; one of whom happens to be aikido instructor Mos. Weeks after a fun night together, Rakel’s friends notice her appetite has increased. As have the size of her breasts. And then there’s the noticeable change around her waist.
