“The Ability Counts League allows a wide range of people to come together and play football, something which they might not otherwise get to do.

“Clubs are continuing to grow, while communities who may traditionally be harder to engage with are able to get involved too.

“Frenkel Topping sponsor the league to help make it more accessible financially for people with disabilities, removing that particular barrier by paying for referees, facilities and equipment, which we are extremely thankful for.

“We ensure that the facilities are as accessible as possible and make it an inviting and welcoming environment for our participants, allowing them to relax and focus on playing football and competing against each other.

“It’s a brilliant way for people to make friends and maintain social relationships. They are all passionate about football and everyone has fun and enjoys themselves, which is great to be part of.”
