🫶 Celebrating Ashford Sensory Football Club with a Big Heart Award

We were delighted to surprise Laura and Emma from Ashford Sensory Football Club with a Fostering Together Big Heart Award, recognising the incredible difference they make to children and families in their local community! 💛🏆

The nomination came from foster carer Julia, whose child has been attending the club since it launched and absolutely loves being part of it. ⚽😊

Ashford Sensory Football Club provides a safe, welcoming and inclusive space where children and young people with additional needs can enjoy football, get involved in activities and be part of a community where they can feel comfortable being themselves. 🌟

💬 Why Julia nominated the team

Julia shared why she wanted to recognise Laura and Emma with a Big Heart Award:

“My little one has been attending since the club launched and absolutely loves it. I'm so glad to be able to recognise them with this award!” 💛

It is wonderful to hear how much the club means to the families who attend. Inclusive activities can make such a difference, giving children and young people opportunities to enjoy their interests, build confidence and connect with others in an environment that welcomes their individual needs. 🤝⚽

A huge congratulations to Laura, Emma and everyone at Ashford Sensory Football Club – and thank you to Julia for nominating them and helping us celebrate the difference they make! 🏆💛
