How Fans Can Get Involved
We care getting closer to the Unite for Access Campaign (1st March to the 16th March) where we will be focusing on raising awareness and driving equality for a more inclusive matchday experience for disabled sports fans. We’re sure that a lot of people will be asking ‘How do I get involved?’ so here are a few pointers and suggestions.
