Supporters attending the Foundation’s Ability Counts programme – a pan-disability football programme for players with disabilities aged 5-25 and their friends and family – said: “It means that others will be aware that I may need extra support and time.” “The sunflower lanyard means the whole experience is accessible for everyone, making it stress free and meaning I’m able to enjoy the game.” “It highlights my needs when queueing, respecting my space, and considering my reactions to loud noises.”Recommended:byCommunications DepartmentSaturday 02 May 2026 10:30Back to Top
