Level Playing Field Matchday

Level Playing Field Matchday

Accrington Stanley is pleased to support the 2018 Level Playing Field (LPF) Weeks of Action. This annual initiative, now in its 13th year, aims to celebrate access and inclusion for disabled sports fans across England and Wales.

Disabled people constitute the largest minority group at around 15% of the population and this number is increasing year on year. Naturally, a large number of disabled people are football fans too and we are pleased to take this opportunity to thank our own disabled fans for their continued loyalty and dedication to this great club.

This year we are celebrating the matchday experience for disabled fans. We want to shine a light on the positives of attending a live matchday and in turn help remove those barriers and promote a culture of accessibility and inclusiveness within sport.

To celebrate LPF week of Action we have invited our disability team that meets every Thursday to our home against Forest Green Rovers, 17th March 2018.

Alongside this, we have run sessions for children with additional needs and Peel Park Primary School and we have been working in partnership with Broadfield Specialist School, Oswaldtwistle to offer tailored sessions for their students.

This Weeks of Action campaign we are joining together with sports clubs, fans and organisations across England and Wales to celebrate the #OurMatchday to not only promote the positive experience had by disabled fans but also the message of access and inclusion for all.
