The Brentford Disabled Supporters' Association (DSA) held their first meeting on Thursday 23 March at the Gtech Community Stadium.
The Brentford DSA was recently formed to promote the needs and interests of disabled supporters.
During their first meeting, which included 15 members, the committee laid out their vision for the formation of a DSA constitution ahead of the 2023/24 season, their involvement with the Premier League Disability Advisory Group, and potential DSA season events.
Disabled supporters were given the opportunity to raise any issues they may have experienced, with the Brentford DSA committee pledging to work closely with members to address any concerns.
Chair of the DSA Allison Blair said: “Thank you to all who attended our first Brentford DSA meeting and for your involvement.
“We are looking forward to expanding in number and for everyone to have a voice so there are no barriers to enjoying football at Brentford.”
The Brentford DSA is keen to increase its membership numbers to include more disabled supporters, ensuring that the organization represents the fan base as accurately as possible.
Any potential members need to fill out this form, so your contact details can be shared with the DSA committee.
The committee’s next meeting date has not been announced yet but, if you are interested in getting involved, please get in touch.
The Brentford DSA is a positive step towards greater inclusivity and accessibility within the Brentford fan base, with the hope that it will create a more inclusive and accessible community.
