Morecambe FC will offer autism sensory packs for home games at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium.
Morecambe FC Community Foundation has partnered with Bee Unique to provide sensory packs, to provide a safe spectating environment for those diagnosed with or in the medical diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Bee Unique is a West Cumbria-based charity with the aim of embracing, educating and entertaining those diagnosed with and those engaged in the medical diagnosis of Autism, whilst also supporting their families and carers.
The aim is to provide a free loan service to families and individuals who may need some support to improve their matchday experience.
This could include ear defenders to reduce noise, or simple fidget toys to help keep calm during the game.
The packs have been funded by the Premier League Fans Fund with help from the fundraising efforts of our friends at BUPA.
Stuart Glover, CEO of Morecambe FC Community Foundation, said: “These packs have been put together to help our fans who may need some additional support during games.
“We hope that by providing them, more people with autism will feel more comfortable coming to games and being part of the Morecambe FC family.
“This is part of our wider engagement plan for fans which will hopefully see more people from our diverse community coming to cheer on Morecambe FC!”
