As some of you know I am currently a coach for Team United and I coach a team of kids between the ages of 10 and 16 who have autism or other neurodiverse conditions. It’s one of the highlights of my week they are genuinely fantastic kids and I’m cycling 50 miles to raise funds to support the ongoing work that team united do.

Team United are raising funds to support our development and support this amazing event! Funds raised will enable another 180 children with autism and other neurodiverse conditions play weekly football in our Team United programme.

For young people with autism, stepping onto a football pitch can feel like entering a world that’s not designed for them. Team United’s programmes help these young people to learn more than just the game – they find confidence, friendships, and a sense of belonging on and off the pitch.
