    I cannot wait to see the Doc and what else she has gotten up to, that is a kind hearted but driven woman and they are lucky to have her. Good on them for empowering her as well.

    Kerry, you are wonderful person and such an asset. What an amazing video. One of the best I've ever seen on youtube. Sitting here with my kids, having a wonderful discussion about this, how other kids have to deal with problems, and they are learning so much, while being so into Wrexham. Superb.

    Fantastic job! I noticed on the website that you are a volunteer. I very much hope your position is paid, and paid well. Your insight is so valuable and hope you are being valued appropriately. People with disabilities are notoriously underpaid, but I hope Wrexham AFC is choosing a different path.

    Originally Kerry took on the role on a voluntary basis when the supporters trust was running the club and what a great appointment. Kerry made the massive step to take on the role as a paid employee of the club full time and has constantly grown the role over the years. What an amazing person, with such an enormous can do attitude

    Thank you for sharing. The hard work you are doing behind the scenes to make the ground accessible and inclusive is great 🙂. I have a few suggestions, hope it ok to share here 1.Video of how to access, navigate around the stadium from start of match to end (maybe on accessible platform You Tube possibly?) for those new to the ground and can't make a pre-planned visit 2. Disposable ear plugs as an alternative to eat defenders? (I find wearing ear defenders difficult to wear), these could be located within the stadium or handed out. 3. More visible clocks around (analogue or digital is best usually maybe with actual countdowns shown) to help with routines. 4. I think the signage is great, sometimes too much signage is not good and can be confusing though, as with signs too many announcements/certain sound frequencies make it really difficult. Again thank you for all of your hard work.
