Level Playing Field launches ‘Unite For Access’ campaign
Level Playing Field has launched ‘Unite For Access’ 2025 – the celebration of access and inclusion for disabled sports fans which runs from 1st-16th March.
Roy Hodgson, the charity’s Patron, unveiled a new campaign film which focuses on the value of collective matchday experiences and combatting disability abuse. Level Playing Field’s 2024 Annual Fan Survey results showed a year-on-year rise in disability abuse.
Unite for Access 2025:
Hodgson said: “Unite For Access presents us with an outstanding opportunity to bring people together.
“The message of this year’s film really gives us all something to unite behind. Everyone has a role to play, in creating an inclusive environment for disabled fans.
“Abuse is nothing new and something I have seen far too much of in sport. We must now take action to end this rise in disability abuse and the accounts in this film help show that.
“We are grateful to all of the fans, disabled supporters’ associations, clubs and our partners that are involved in this year’s campaign and particularly thank the Premier League and EFL for their support.
“The coming weeks will see us put access and inclusion at the top of the agenda. I encourage everyone to join us, as we Unite For Access.”
The Level Playing Field ‘Unite For Access’ campaign launch film is available to view in various accessible formats, on the charity’s website.
This year’s film spotlights disabled supporters of different Premier League and EFL clubs, alongside a Dedicated Football Officer and Level Playing Field’s Head of Fan Engagement and Supporter Services.
More than 100 teams took part in the 2024 ‘Unite For Access’ campaign, with Brentford FC providing the host venue.
