Solihull Moors FC and Solihull Moors Foundation came together to show their support for inclusion and accessibility in football, through the Unite for Access Campaign. 

The recent fixture at Damson Park served as a dedicated matchday in support of the campaign, a national initiative led by Level Playing Field that promotes accessibility and inclusion for disabled sports fans.

Delivered by Solihull Moors Foundation, the day created an opportunity for children, young people and adults to enjoy and experience a welcoming and inclusive matchday environment.

Throughout the day, more than 200 children, young people and adults joined us altogether at Damson Park to celebrate the Unite For Access campaign. Participants took part in a range of activities and activations on the astro. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone involved created a fantastic atmosphere, highlighting the importance of providing inclusive and accessible opportunities within sport.

Joining us on the day were SuperSEN and Solihull Advert Through Advocacy, who helped share the initiative and show their support for the Unite For Access campaign.

The Foundation was also delighted to welcome Madam Mayor and Councillor Karen Grinsell as special guests on the day. We appreciate their continued support and the work they have done alongside the Foundation to help strengthen opportunities within the community.

The day also reflected the shared commitment of Solihull Moors Foundation and Solihull Moors to break down barriers and ensure that football remains inclusive and accessible for everyone. Creating opportunities where everyone feels welcome, valued and able to take part is central to the Foundation’s work within the community.

Scott Langford, Learning & Accessibility Manager at Solihull Moors Foundation, said:

“Inclusion sits at the heart of everything we do at Solihull Moors Foundation. Supporting the Unite For Access campaign is about more than a matchday,  it’s about continuing to break down barriers and making sure everyone, regardless of their needs or abilities, feels that football is a place where they belong. We are proud to work with partners, supporters and the wider community to ensure the game remains accessible for all.”

Both the Solihull Moors F.C. Men’s First Team and the Solihull Moors Women First Team proudly showed their support for the Unite For Access campaign across the weekend, demonstrating a shared commitment across the club to champion accessibility and inclusion in football.

By collectively backing the campaign, the teams helped highlight the importance of ensuring the game remains welcoming and accessible for everyone. Their support reinforced the club-wide values of inclusion, unity and opportunity, while helping raise awareness of the need to continue breaking down barriers so that disabled supporters and participants can fully engage with football and the matchday experience.
