Raising awareness of Autism in grass roots football for children · 17 May 2012

The National Autistic Society is here to transform lives, change attitudes and create a society that works for autistic people. There is still so much to do to increase opportunities, reduce social isolation and build a brighter future for autistic people. With your help, we can make it happen.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So many children love to play and watch football. Unfortunately, but understandably,  football coaching schemes and local football clubs are unable to cater for children with a disability who want to develop their footballing skills to get more enjoyment from the game without necessarily aspiring to become professional.This means that many children are missing out on the opportunities and fun that are open to non-disabled children.

 

By visiting all the Premier League clubs in under 34 waking hours, I am hoping to not only raise awareness of the challange but to also encourage more  football clubs at grass root level to offer coaching for children so they can enjoy the benefits of playing football.

As a means of raising funds to support the vital work of the National Autistic Society, I am asking all the 20 Premier League clubs if they would consider making a small donation of a signed ball or club shirt which I will auction at the conclusion of his challenge. I am also asking if clubs would be so kind as to take part in a photo-shoot at the ground for local publicity purposes as a means of raising awareness of autism within the community.

I am also asking everyone to help raise money for the National AutisticSociety by sponsoring me for this challange. ALL donations will be very much appriciated.
