Port Vale FC is supporting Level Playing Field's annual Unite For Access campaign this weekend, which aims to showcase the good work being done by clubs to improve accessibility and inclusion for disabled fans.
Port Vale FC supports the campaign and we are getting involved by helping disabled supporters learn about Level Playing Field and understand what the charity does, what its aims are to improve accessibility and inclusion, and how they can assist disabled fans.
Level Playing Field supports disabled sports fans through its membership and a variety of active initiatives.
