The National Association of Disabled Supporters (NADS) was established in 1998 and is the national registered charity representing disabled supporters of all sports together with their carers and advocates.
Our key objectives are to promote an inclusive agenda, raise disability awareness through sport and ensure an equality of experiences for all fans.
We represent all disabled supporters with Trustees and cooptees of all disability groups sitting on the Board. Whatever your disability, we understand your issues and are here to help.
NADS represents the views, issues and concerns of disabled football supporters to football and governmental authorities and provides independent advice on disability issues as they affect the football, cricket and rugby communities. NADS also heads up the disabled branch of englandfans. More than 30,000 disabled fans regularly attend football matches in England alone with many now choosing to travel to games abroad.
As a registered Charity, NADS is regulated by the Charity Commission and is also a member of the Fundraising Standards Board. We are also committed to following the Code of Governance as set out by the Governance Hub of the Charity Commission.
