St Johnstone Football Club participating in the CAFE Week of Action 2022

The CAFE Week of Action is an annual initiative which celebrates access for all and promotes the wider inclusion of disabled people in football, and we at St Johnstone FC are delighted to be joining with other stakeholders across Europe to promote the important message of access and inclusion for all.

CAFE (Centre for Access to Football in Europe) aims to improve access and inclusion within the game that we love.  CAFE is working hard to ensure disabled people can take their rightful place amongst their peers within football – from grassroots to the boardroom – as fans, guest, volunteers, employees, coaches, and players, and as leaders and decision makers.

What is CAFE’s mission?

·       Total access to experiencing live sport

·       Total access to empowerment for disabled fans

·       Total access to knowledge and information

·       Total access to a disability inclusive world

·       Total access to a sustainable environment and climate for all
