Disabled Facilities
With our Director Sharon Cooper confined to a wheelchair, we take great pride in being a company that constructs disabled facilities for sports venues. Our work plays an essential role in creating an inclusive and accessible environment for individuals with disabilities. Our ramps and drops allow wheelchair users and other disabled individuals to move freely and safely around sports stadiums, providing them with an equal opportunity to enjoy and participate in sporting events. By constructing these facilities, we are not only complying with legal requirements, but also contributing to the social responsibility of creating a more inclusive society that accommodates people of all abilities.
Suitable access to areas such as Toilets & Catering facilities are a minimum that Wheelchair users should experience, along with gated entry to the ground and hard standing to a viewing area
We have produced a number of stands that provide the elevation for Wheelchair users to watch the game from a higher level, rather than staring at the pitch side barrier
Whilst we can just provide a wheelchair cut-out at the front of our stands, we do that merely as an accommodation when in a competitive tender process, but don’t believe that these enhance the wheelchair users experience
In 2026 the Football Association intend to look at disabled facilities in the round, and Sports Ground Development have been asked to contribute towards that review.
