Brewers support national accessibility campaign

Burton Albion are backing a new national campaign to help disabled fans overcome matchday barriers and increase their spectator enjoyment.

The most recent Level Playing Field Fan survey found that 28.5 per cent of disabled sports fans considered the attitudes of others to be a barrier when attending live sport.

Meanwhile, over a quarter of disabled fans, 36.5 per cent, said they were unable to attend certain sports or sporting venues due to lack of accessibility.

Now the Brewers have announced the club is proud to participate in Level Playing Field 's new national campaign, 'Unite For Access' - a celebration of accessibility and inclusion for disabled sports fans.

A spokesperson for the Brewers said: “Level Playing Field is the leading charity advocating for disabled sports fans in England and Wales, and our dedicated 'Unite For Access' matchday is one of many happening across stadiums up and down the country over two weeks.

“As a club, we believe that all people should be able to attend live sports, regardless of disability. We are committed to making Burton Albion accessible to all, and will continue to take steps to improve, but we also call on all supporters to come with us on this journey, we all have our part to play.

“We know that talking about disability can be daunting sometimes, it 's a complex subject matter. That 's why we invite all supporters, disabled and non-disabled, to engage with us on this important campaign and to ensure access and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. ”
