The Gills Independent Supporters’ Club is delighted to partner with HerGameToo. Football should be a game for everyone to enjoy, especially at Priestfield. Women and girls of all ages should feel welcome and be able to share an opinion without fear of sexist abuse. We look forward to a great partnership #HerGameToo #FootballForAll

The HerGameToo Ambassador for Gillingham FC is Paige Collins. She is working along side Mandy Brown and Bethany Marshall. We look forward to working with them to make football a game for all.



Founded in May 2021, HerGameToo is a voluntary organisation ran by female football fans; who are committed to growing the campaign with the aim of fostering an ethos in football in which women are welcomed and respected equally. Alongside working full-time in their day jobs, the team dedicate their hours around this to support the progression of HerGameToo.

The campaign launched to widespread support on social media - leading to the campaign's hashtag of #HerGameToo trending on Twitter in the build-up to the Emirates FA Cup final and launch video for the campaign, gaining over 1 million views.


Since the campaign's launch, #HerGameToo has surveyed over 400 female football fans to build a wider picture of the experiences they have faced when attending games.


HerGameToo see the value in everyone. They strive to be a catalyst for positive change and we are driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organisation upon: support, empowerment, and progress.


The aims of HerGameToo, which the GISC are delighted to endorse, are:-

  • Create awareness

  • Educate

  • Research

  • Develop a strong sense of community

  • Create regular content to champion women in football (players, staff AND fans)

  • Create strong relationships with clubs

  • Have a presence at football grounds and sports bars to build a more welcoming environment for young girls and women

  • Continue to campaign against sexism in football
