Sensory Room beneficiaries Chris and Harry Evans have been named as Cardiff City FC Community Foundation's Community Participants of the Year at Cardiff City FC's End of Season awards.
Taking place on Sunday 30th May, Chris was surprised with his and Harry's awards after showing amazing progression since using the Sensory Room facilities at Cardiff City Stadium.
Speaking on the night, Chris said:
"I was so surprised with the award and I can't thank the Club and Foundation enough for the accessibility they've given both me and Harry.
"We're lucky to have facilities like the Sensory Room at Cardiff City Stadium and without them, Harry and I wouldn't be able to watch the Bluebirds like we do now."

Cardiff City FC and Cardiff City FC Foundation recently received the 'Centre of Excellence' award from Level Playing Field - a charity that champions equality for disabled sports fans across the U.K.
The Bluebirds are just one of five clubs across the Premier League and EFL to receive the award, which recognises the accessible services and facilities available to fans with a disability who attend fixtures at Cardiff City Stadium.
CCS sits alongside Wembley Stadium, The Etihad Stadium (Manchester City FC), Pride Park (Derby County FC), The American Express Community Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion FC) and The Emirates Stadium (Arsenal FC) as the only football grounds to have reached this standard.
