Aberdeen FC Community Trust, in partnership with the Scottish FA, Sport Aberdeen and Grampian Disability Sport, ran the latest ASN Football Festival for primary and secondary schools in the North East of Scotland.
In the first of three festivals to be held in 2018, over 50 secondary school pupils and 30 primary school pupils, all with additional support needs and disabilities, enjoyed a day of fun skill challenges and small sided games at Aberdeen Sports Village.
The festival brought together pupils from 8 schools across the age groups, with schools based as far as Fraserburgh joining those in Aberdeen City for the day.
Harley Hamdani, Diversity & Inclusion Officer at AFCCT, commented, “Not only was this a fantastic opportunity for children and young people with additional support needs to participate in sport, it also allowed for greater social integration and new friendships being formed.
“This could not have been possible without the support from CNR International.”
Well done to the pupils, teachers, AFCCT and the volunteers for their efforts.
