Well to our Deaf Friendly Football Pledge anyway!

The Deaf Friendly Football Club Project is designed to give all deaf children the chance to play football in a safe, supportive and fun environment, either in mainstream football clubs or deaf football clubs.

Here is one example of how the generous donations of our supporters have helped deaf children.

Access all areas, or not in some cases…

Been out with a deaf friend today, who is in a wheelchair. We had a great day in London but two issues that I wanted to share and find out if there was anything I could do about. Firstly the roads, pavements and accessibility in the City is not great. We went From Liverpool St to St Paul’s, over the wobbly bridge, through to Southwark Cathedral and back over London Bridge. The uneven paths were a nightmare, I’m not sure who or how I can change things but I thought bringing it up here might help.

Secondly on two occasions today there was access to the buildings we wanted to go to but the signage to point us in the right direction was just not there…

The site I came across with the best info was www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/ouch/

There must be more so are there any campaigns I can sign up to or discussion groups where I can find out more and help to campaign about this?
