WEMBLEY'S ACTION ON DEMENTIA

RAHEEM STERLING and Kieran Trippier set the perfect tone for Wembley to become a dementia-friendly national stadium. 

As part of the FA’s alliance with charity partner the Alzheimer’s Society, England’s spiritual home has been upgraded with new features, including improved signage, bespoke stewards, dedicated lifts and accessible shuttle services.

The improvements follow a dementia-friendly audit, with a group of fans affected by cognitive health issues providing feedback after being invited to two matchdays at Wembley.

For too long going to football matches has been an overwhelming experience for fans living with dementia because of large crowds and noise levels.
