A Week of Action is being held up and down the country in support of the National Association of Disabled Supporters.

The disability awareness initiative promotes the need for an inclusive and equal experience for all fans and brings together all clubs belonging to the professional leagues.

Over a period of two weeks these clubs have the opporunity to show what they have acheived for disabled supporters.

On Saturday, Hereford United welcomed members from the RNC Bulls team. The RNC Bulls are Hereford United's very own blind and partially-sighted football team, based at the Royal National College for the Blind.

The Hereford United Community Trust team have been working extremely hard with local people with disabilities.

Using the fantastic facilities at the City's Point4 venue, the Community Trust coach a wide range of people with disabilities from youngsters with Down's Syndrome to Blind footballers some of whom will be representing England in this year's IBSA World Blind Football Championships.

Many people will imagine someone in a wheelchair when thinking of a disability and around 1% of the population uses a wheelchair.

However there are many types of disability, some more hidden and each with specific needs.

This year's NADS campaign focuses on ambulant disabled supporters. The term ambulant refers to people with a wide range of disabilities who are not regular wheelchair users.

This could include people who have diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis or cancer.
