Disability Awareness Month runs from mid-November to mid-December. This is an annual event creating a platform to promote disabled people’s rights and highlight their struggle for equality and human rights.
It is a time to reflect on the progress made in disability rights and to consider what more can be done to support disability equality today. Within the Trust, this month also offers an opportunity to showcase the growth of our Disability Department and the broad range of weekly activity sessions being delivered:
Hounslow Short Breaks
On the Ball
Ealing SEND Multi-Sports
Ealing Adult Inclusive Multi-Sports
Inclusive College Football League
Bee Inclusive football session
Middlesex FA Disability Youth League
These sessions provide a safe, welcoming environment where disabled participants can engage, connect, and thrive through inclusive sport.
Improving Accessibility
During October 2025 alone, our programmes engaged with 263 participants across 75 sessions. This reflects our strengthened community engagement, improved accessibility, and enhanced participant confidence across our disability provision.
Creating A Safe And Inclusive Environment
Chris Tribe, Disability Projects Manager, reflected on Disability Awareness Month: “Brentford FC Community Sports Trust prides itself on placing inclusivity at the heart of all of its programmes and sessions, and this is especially prominent across our Disability Department. We recognise the importance of creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for all of our participants, where everyone feels empowered to be themselves with no judgement from others, regardless of the nature of their disability.”
As we move into 2026, the Trust is excited to continue building momentum with a range of new and returning initiatives, including:
Our second disability-specific Work Experience cohort
The second AccessAbility Cup, in partnership with Special Olympics
VI/Blind Football sessions in partnership with British Blind Sport
Our second England Para Talent Day
SEND School Football Festivals
SEND girls’ multi-sport school festivals
All Ability Bees Soccer School Camps during school holidays
Plus, the ongoing delivery of our existing sessions
Disability Awareness Month is not just about recognition; it’s about action. Together, we can continue to break down barriers, celebrate achievements, and create a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
