Winkfield Parish Council has announced that they will be providing funding for the newly launched ‘Football For All’ for people with Neurodiversity.
Chairman of FC Bracknell Neil Graham and a team of volunteers launched the inclusive initiative ‘Football For All,’ the only club in Bracknell specifically for neurodivergent children and adults.
‘Football For All’ has begun with one team and currently boasts 12 players. Their aim is to grow membership across all age groups with the aim of 20 players by the end of 2023.
The club provides participants with opportunities to develop social, communication, and teamwork skills. They will also get the chance to meet new friends within a fun and safe environment.
‘Football For All’ has also been entered into The Bobi League (Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Inclusive League).
The league offers individuals with a range of disabilities the opportunity to play competitive football on a regular basis. The Bobi League serves the Thames Valley region and neighbouring counties.
Winkfield Parish Councillor Kevin Buchler said: “Our Council is proud to contribute by way of a financial grant towards this phenomenal cause.
