Make content about: Tony found his voice at football
Tony had never seen his favourite football team live until his support worker started taking him to matches across the country.
This story
Tony is in his early 60s, has autism, and lived with his mother until she died, later moving in with his sister in Hove. While he was often quiet and non-verbal, traveling to football matches helped him gain confidence, find his voice, and cheer aloud. He now regularly attends games to support both Nottingham Forest and Chelsea with his support worker.
Where you could take it
Join Tony and his support worker on a match day to share in their pre-game rituals and see him cheering from the stands.
