No one should feel unable to attend a game at the Silverlake Stadium and it is the role of the Disability Liaison Officer to make Eastleigh Football Club inclusive to all. The DLO will focus on removing barriers that may be impacting supporters being able to visit or fully enjoy their visit to the club.
A number of initiatives, aimed at improving the match day experience for both home and away fans with disabilities, will be created by Sarah.
The Disability Liaison Officer will support the establishment of user led dialogue between the clubs disabled fans and the club. The DLO will also liaise with other clubs to find out about their disabled facilities for supporters and is currently building a database of facilities and accessibility at every ground in the National League.
Sarah Woolley said:
“I’m delighted to take on this role to help those fans who feel that they are unable to visit the Silverlake Stadium because of disability. No one should feel unable to come and visit our club and it is my role to help make the club as inclusive and accessible as it can be.
“I first started following Eastleigh during the 2013/14 season, taking in a few home and away games. The thrill of promotion gave me the bug and I’ve enjoyed supporting the team around the country.
“Having visited most of the National league stadia and experienced differing levels of accessibility in my wheelchair, I want to ensure that all disabled supporters, both home and away, have the best match day experience possible at the Silverlake.
“It is essential that we cater for and welcome every fan, no matter what their individual needs are. Everybody should be able to enjoy the game and feel a part of it.”
Tom Coffey, Operations Director said:
“It is great that Sarah has accepted the role to become Eastleigh Football Club’s Disability Liaison Officer. Her role will revolve around making the match day experience for our disabled fans barrier free and to help the club understand the difficulties people with disabilities face when visiting us.
She will act as a contact for those who may wish to raise concerns about accessibility.”
Any supporter with concerns about accessibility or who has any ideas on how the club can better its accessibility and inclusivity can email dlo@eastleighfc.com. Alternatively, you can contact Sarah via twitter @dlo_eastleighfc.
