Football Clubs

Thanks to The Shippey Campaign, a fantastic initiative by Kate and Pete Shippey whose three sons all have autism, more and more football clubs are realising the benefits of installing sensory rooms at their grounds to enable people with autism spectrum disorders to attend and enjoy matches just like everyone else.

For those with sensory difficulties, the large crowds and noise at a football match can become overwhelming. By providing adequate facilities to help them relax, your club will be catering to those fans that have previously been unable to bring their children to your games.

Sensory rooms and equipment can be invaluable in helping to promote feelings of calm, as well as developing motor skills and providing great cause and effect learning.
