Mother advocates for inclusivity in grassroots football for disabled children

Millie, a mother from Derbyshire, is campaigning for greater inclusivity in grassroots football after her son Arthur, who has dyspraxia, felt marginalized at a previous club. Arthur, 8, experienced reduced playing time compared to his peers and lost interest in the sport. The Derbyshire County Football Association's Luke Wilkinson acknowledged the need for better provision and invited Millie to contribute to a neurodiversity working group aimed at improving inclusion. Wilkinson emphasized a desire to ensure that children with disabilities can enjoy football alongside their peers.
