Our club volunteers have recently undertaken accessibility training as part of our new Audio Descriptive Companion initiative, supported through funding from the Football Supporters’ Association. The programme is another positive step towards making our club more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible for all supporters.

The training has equipped volunteers with the understanding and practical skills needed to better support fans with visual impairments and improve the overall matchday experience. Through the Audio Descriptive Companion initiative, we are helping remove barriers so every supporter can feel more connected to both the game and our club community.

A huge thank you to the Football Supporters’ Association for their support of this initiative, and to our fantastic volunteers for their continued dedication to making football accessible for everyone.
