Swansea City DSA to sponsor sensory room

Swansea City Disabled Supporters' Association (DSA) are the new sponsors of the Swansea.com Stadium sensory room for the 2024-25 season.

The sensory room, which opened in 2019, allows supporters who may otherwise find a Swans matchday challenging to enjoy the games at their own pace.

After five years, some of the sensory room items were in need of minor upgrades, and so – after playing an instrumental role in the introduction of the space – the DSA offered to become the official sponsor of the room.

The season-long sponsorship has funded the fitting of additional sensory lights and objects to enhance the supporter experience, while the DSA have also committed to continuing to provide sensory packs for sensory room visitors.

Sensory rooms were traditionally spaces set for those with autism spectrum disorder or similar disabilities. However. Swansea City recognises that other supporters and disabilities may benefit from such as a space, such as those with dementia and so – following supporter feedback – the club now accepts requests for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s and anyone else who would benefit from the use of the space.

Swansea City DSA Chair, Andrew Brayley, said: “The sensory room is a very important facility at the club.

“The DSA's primary function is to make the matchday experience for disabled fans the best it can be, and as such are proud to be sponsoring and providing the upgrades to the room. 

“The sensory room allows fans who would not normally be able to visit the stadium to watch a live game, sampling the atmosphere in a safe and quiet environment. It allows everyone to enjoy a match with their friends and family.”

Supporters who feel they would benefit from attending a match using the sensory room should contact the club by emailing: accessibilty@swanseacity.com
