Tactic Connect Support’s The Tribe

Tactic Connect is delighted to announce its support for The Tribe, which is a free worldwide inclusive web app that brings inclusive sports, events and young people together to find inclusive sports 

The idea for the Tribe came about after Founder Verity Smith won the Emma Goldman Snowball Award in Vienna in 2023.  

Verity Smith said, “This award, and amazing opportunity, has enabled me to start this journey of inclusion.” 

Tactic Connect CEO Genevieve Gordon-Thomson said, “Tactic Connect’s core belief is that sport and support to achieve good sport should be inclusive and accessible. We strive to help our clients achieve this through our work with them, and this is why we are proud to support the start-up of Tribe Identity’s quest to provide a space for their community in sport.” 

Tribe Identity was accepted and registered as a community interest group in April 2024 and is currently fundraising to further their global support reach via this link gofund.me/34321a4b. 

About the Tribe Identity Founder. 

Verity Smith is a gay trans man with a disability who played elite women’s rugby for a number of years and now plays in the UK’s wheelchair rugby Super League. He is a leading voice on trans inclusion in sports in the UK and also supports diversity and inclusion for International Gay Rugby (IGR) and the Federation of Gay Games (FGG). He works for Mermaids as their Youth Engagement Manager. 

Believing in education, not discrimination, he is passionate that all young people should have access to sport. Given the transphobia he has experienced while engaging in sports as a trans man, this firm belief in education and his dedication to working with youngsters is testimony to the great person he is. He takes his history and background and turns that into a positive story to make sure that all children have access to sport. He works closely with sports clubs, national governing bodies, and local clubs to help support and bridge the gaps for trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse young people, so that it doesn't matter whether you're trans, whether you're disabled, whether you're able-bodied, where you come from: Sport is everyone's game!
