At Prestige Network, we’re thrilled to announce our support for the #UnsilenceTheCrowd campaign, aimed at enhancing the match-day experience for Deaf football fans by providing professional British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters.
We continue to support the FA to be more inclusive in their training, and we are now moving to another phase of supporting inclusion in sport by focusing on the match-day experience. By incorporating BSL interpreters into your football events, you are taking a significant step toward inclusivity. Imagine the joy of Deaf fans being able to cheer alongside their peers and friends, understanding commentary and announcements, and feeling a part of the collective excitement.
Our goal is to work closely with football clubs to create crafted solutions that meet the specific needs of Deaf fans. We can help develop a strategy that includes designated spots for BSL interpretation during matches, as well as pre-match briefings and post-match discussions. This comprehensive approach ensures that Deaf fans are not just passive observers but active participants in the football experience.
By embracing this campaign, your club could set a powerful example in the football community, showcasing a commitment to diversity and inclusion. This not only enhances your reputation but also fosters loyalty among fans who appreciate the efforts made to accommodate everyone.
Together, we are making football more inclusive, accessible, and tangible for everyone. We were honoured to support the #UnsilenceTheCrowd campaign with Newcastle United FC.
With the #UnsilenceTheCrowd campaign leading the way, we are ensuring that no fan is left behind. Come on, football fans, lace up your boots, let’s make some noise, and kick off a new era of inclusivity on and off the pitch!
