Emirates Stadium will be the stage for the Level Playing Field South Forum, on Thursday 12 November, and registration is now open to all.
Following trips to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London Stadium and St.Mary’s in recent years, the Level Playing Field South Forum is set for a long awaited return to the home of the Premier League champions.
In addition to hosting the charity for previous iterations of its regional forums, Arsenal have an established history of making important strides in access and inclusion for disabled fans. Key examples included becoming the first Premier League club to introduce a permanent British Sign Language (BSL) provision on matchdays, launching the 600th ‘Changing Places’ toilet and receiving one of the first Level Playing Field Centre of Excellence awards, back in 2012.
The venue is therefore an ideal setting to bring disabled fans, club staff and other key stakeholders together, for discussion on inclusion and accessibility across sport.
Date: Thursday 12 November
Time: 11am-4pm
