Proudly supporting Level Playing Field's Weeks of Action campaign

The Club is proudly supporting Level Playing Field’s Weeks of Action campaign at Monday night’s home match against Everton.

Level Playing Field is a charity dedicated to improving access for disabled sports fans and the wider community.

Running from 28 February until 13 March, the Level Playing Field’s Weeks of Action campaign highlights the positive work being done by Clubs, Disabled Supporters Associations (DSA’s) and organisations towards access and inclusion at sports venues. The main aim is to drive an improved matchday experience to encourage more disabled fans to watch the ‘beautiful game’.

In our continued support of Level Playing Field, we are promoting the campaign across our website, social media channels, LED signage and big screens around the Everton match. Our N17 Live matchday show will also feature content dedicated to the campaign, and members of SpursAbility will be appearing on the show.

Equality and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do as a Club.

Tottenham Hotspur works closely with SpursAbility, which represents and promotes the views of our disabled fans. The Club’s Disability Access Scheme provides supporters with a disability, access to services and facilities that enhance their matchday experience.

Our stadium is fully compliant with the Accessible Stadia Guide and exceeds standards in many areas. In addition to dedicated accessible entrances, the stadium has accessible seating and wheelchair spaces in all stands. It also includes three Changing Places facilities for fans with more complex requirements, which have more space and equipment than standard accessible toilets.

Located in the stadium’s North Stand, our Sensory Suite offers a comfortable and calming environment for supporters on the autistic spectrum or with sensory impairment conditions to watch matches. The room is complete with a tactile wall, a bubble tube, and several other pieces of sensory equipment.

Other services available include audio descriptive commentary, a radio-based assistive hearing system, accessible stadium parking, and areas for assistance animals. Away fans also receive access to these provisions.

Through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, the Club runs a number of projects aimed at promoting inclusion and equality for all, including sport and employability programmes for people with a range of disabilities.

Last year, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was awarded the IOC IAKS Gold Award and the IPC IAKS Distinction for Accessibility. Presented jointly by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), and the International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities (IAKS), the awards recognise sporting and leisure facilities globally that push the envelope of design.

Furthermore, the Club is committed to developing more inclusive experiences across its Stadium Visitor Attractions, including the introduction of wheelchair accessible climbs on The Dare Skywalk and British Sign Language Stadium Tours.
