Wolves marked Disability History Month with the club’s first-ever dedicated event, hosted inside the Wolves Museum.
The first of its kind evening brought together supporters, staff, and members of the local community for an inspiring celebration of inclusion, achievement and connection, with a Wolves theme to it.
The event reflected Wolves’ ‘One Pack’ ethos, championing an environment where everyone belongs, allowing guests to enjoy informal networking, museum tours, mini football games and refreshments, before the night’s centrepiece: a dynamic panel discussion exploring disability inclusion, both on and off the pitch.
The panel featured Wolverhampton-born cerebral palsy player Jude Aston, Martyn Willis and Andy Pike from Wolves DSA, Wolves Foundation’s senior disability sport officer Gavin Jones and Zoe Conning, disability access officer at Wolves. Hosted by Sam Lee (EDI lead) and Dave Wood (Fan Services manager), the Q&A offered powerful insights into accessibility, representation, and the ongoing work required to improve inclusion in football and the wider community.
Held in the Wolves Museum, Sam Warrington, museum, tours and heritage manager, provided technical support and assisted with the organising of the event.
Furthermore, Wolves Foundation and Wolves DSA hosted information areas, showcasing their initiatives and encouraging supporters to join the DSA – ensuring disabled fans have their voices heard not only at Molineux, but across the league.
The evening concluded with a powerful Q&A, highlighting the forthcoming Accessible Stadia Guide, set to be published in early 2026, alongside Wolves’ commitment to continuous staff training and development. These initiatives aim to further remove barriers for fans on matchdays, ensuring that inclusion remains at the heart of the club’s future.
On the night, Zoe said: “It was inspiring to see so many supporters, staff and community members come together for our first Disability History Month event. The conversations we had tonight underline how vital accessibility is to the matchday experience and how far it’s come.
“I’m proud that Wolves are committed to continuous training and development to keep breaking down barriers. Events like this help build real momentum to ensure every fan feels welcome and included.”
The evening set the stage for further initiatives and continued progress in disability inclusion, with Wolves committed to building on the momentum, ensuring that future events strengthen the voice and visibility of disabled supporters across Wolverhampton and beyond.
