Latest News from NADS
The
last 2 seasons have seen the
increasing roll-out of the NADS designed and
led Level
Playing Field disability
awareness campaign (LPF) and we are
delighted to say that the campaign is
becoming more widely known and successful
with participation increasing year on year.
After discussing dates with the football
authorities, this year's campaign will take
place over the two week period commencing
23 February and ending on 3 March
2008. This should give each club
the opportunity to have a home game in which
they can showcase the work they are doing
This campaign offers a unique platform for
every football club to highlight the good
work already undertaken in the provision of
disabled supporter facilities and services
in the community.
Every club is invited to take part and it
couldn't be easier; all we ask is that
individual clubs identify a home match
around this period and on the day provide a
feature in the matchday programme
highlighting how participation in this
campaign will help to improve disability
awareness at your club. We would also ask
clubs to consider a half-time pitch activity
or press announcement which we hope will
further highlight the LPF campaign and
genuinely resonate with all supporters.
This year we have
given the campaign a theme which is on
disabled supporter facilities and in
particular those for supporters with sensory
impairments.
We would also like disabled
supporters to send us an article
about what it means to them to follow their
club as a disabled supporter and maybe we
can put the best into club's matchday
programmes/websites.
We shall be sending a letter to every
football club within the next 2 weeks about
the campaign and we shall be following this
up with suggestions and ideas including
details of 2 proposed competitions we would
like you to run as part of the campaign.
If you do not receive this letter, please
let us know on
info@nads.org.uk or call 0845 230 6237
as we know sometimes that letters do not
reach the correct person.
For more information about the campaign and
to read about earlier year's activities,
visit the
NADS website.
We look forward to talking and working
with you for Disabled Football Fans, their families and
Carers
The Darlington Supporters Trust (Disabled
Supporters Group) is a member of NADS, the National
Association for Disabled Supporters which was set up to
improve facilities for disabled fans across the nation.
