- 3. Disability Supporters Club – Jamie Edwards Presentation

Jamie Edwards of STFCitC (Shrewsbury Town in the Community) described a brief history of the work of STFCitC working with disabled Shrewsbury Town FC supporters, explaining that during the last four years the club and STFCitC working together have become one of the leading clubs within the West Midlands for providing activities for supporters with disabilities, one of which includes a Cerebral Palsy club (details on their website https://www.shrewsburytowninthecommunity.com/activities/shrewsability/). The purpose of these activity groups, as listed on their website, is to ensure that anyone can represent Shrewsbury Town Football Club regardless of their age, gender, disability or from a deprived background. Crucially Jamie explained that these projects are all sustainable since the original charitable funding for these projects ended in June 2019. Jamie announced that following STFCitC’s successful bid, funding from the Wembley National Stadium Trust who are a charitable orgainisation aiming to deliver sporting activities to local communities and are funded by Wembley Stadium ticket sales. (Details about this organization are on their website http://www.wnst.org.uk/). The funding is to allow STFCitC to launch several new projects to engage with supporters through matchday activities, predominately for 16 years+, but the funding is not designed to sustain them, this will be achieved through fees and other fund-raising methods. STFCitC’s Disability Awareness Programme is linked to a current volunteer programme along with programmes in both primary and secondary schools. The programme consists of a theoretical workshop and a practical session which involve participants playing football in order to understand some of the challenges people with certain impairments face. The programme will be delivered over five weeks for a total of ten hours delivered annually. STFCitC’s matchday Disabled Supporters Club (DSC) is linked to the Shrewsbury Town’s Supporters Parliament. Jamie explained that nationally people with a disability struggle to access physical activity sessions during a typical week which can add to obesity which then potentially leads to more strain on NHS services. The aim of this project is to provide a preventative/social prescribing approach to addressing this issue. An Activator session for people with disabilities will operate every Saturday matchday from 1pm at the Community Football Hub pitches at the Montgomery Waters Meadow. The sessions will be designed to encourage supporters take part in a one-hour football activity session before attending the match on the day & will be designed to include all impairments. For the careers who accompany the supporter to the sessions, the Hub will be open for them to go and enjoy some light refreshments freely available while they wait & is also a place for any other disabled supporter not taking part in the sessions to socialize with others before heading to the
