UNITE FOR ACCESS<br />
The Level Playing Field Unite<br />
for Access campaign kicks off<br />
today and aims to showcase the<br />
good work being done by clubs<br />
to improve accessibility and<br />
inclusion for disabled fans.<br />
<strong>Bolton</strong> <strong>Wanderers</strong> fully supports<br />
the campaign and are getting<br />
involved by helping disabled<br />
supporters learn about Level<br />
Playing Field (LPF) and understand<br />
what the charity does, what its aims<br />
are to improve accessibility and<br />
inclusion, and how they can assist<br />
disabled fans.<br />
Today we delighted to be joined by<br />
Steve Evans an LPF Trustee who<br />
will be catching up with a number<br />
of our disabled fans including<br />
Morgan Parry who is an LPF<br />
Ambassador.<br />
Over the campaign a video will<br />
be released that focuses upon<br />
disabled supporters from three<br />
clubs in the EFL, including our own<br />
club with an in-depth interview of<br />
Jack Storey and his family.<br />
In recent months we have had<br />
a full LFP audit of our club and<br />
the very detailed report gives us<br />
a great guide into how we can<br />
continually improve our facilities for<br />
our disabled supporters.<br />
To take this work forward a<br />
working party has been formed<br />
brining together members of the<br />
<strong>Bolton</strong> <strong>Wanderers</strong> Supporters<br />
Trust, <strong>Bolton</strong> <strong>Wanderers</strong> Disabled<br />
Supporters Association, <strong>Bolton</strong><br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> in the Community,<br />
disabled fans and key staff<br />
members in the Club.<br />
A major focus will be on creating<br />
a full changing places facility<br />
designed to be completely<br />
accessible providing sufficient<br />
space and equipment for people<br />
who are not able to use the toilet<br />
independently. The plan is for this<br />
facility to be available throughout<br />
the week to the public as well as a<br />
match day.<br />
Over the coming months further<br />
improvements are planned for<br />
the accessible toilets, stadium<br />
loop system, quite room and<br />
appropriate design changes of<br />
existing areas to create better<br />
accessibility in a variety of ways.<br />
You can support this work by<br />
adding a donation to the cause<br />
when purchasing your season<br />
ticket for 23/24.<br />
We are looking to work together as<br />
one club, one community one town<br />
and unite for access and support<br />
the great work of Level Playing<br />
Field that is there to support<br />
disabled sports fans through its<br />
membership and a variety of active<br />
initiatives.<br />
