Swindon Town issue over 200 sensory packs to young supporters with autism

The club has confirmed that they have now issued over 200 sensory packs to young fans with autism to help improve the matchday experience as part of plans to ensure The County Ground is as accessible, comfortable, and friendly as possible for everyone.

Swindon Town partnered with First City Care Group and the club’s Supporters Trust back in March 2021 to launch the sensory packs, which have now been issued to over 200 young supporters.

The packs have been designed to improve the matchday experience for young people who struggle to stay calm and focus on tasks and are part of both the club and the Trust’s commitment to making STFC more accessible, comfortable, and friendly to all.
