Cardiff City FC Community Foundation receives generous donation from The Persimmon Foundation
Supporting our work in health, education, and social inclusion in Cardiff and the wider South East Wales region
24 October 2022
Cardiff City Supporters Trust has continued to show their support for the official charity of Cardiff City Football Club by providing a financial donation to continue the development of our Sensory Room at Cardiff City Stadium.
The Sensory Room has been providing an inclusive environment for children and young people with sensory impairments to visit Cardiff City Stadium to watch the Bluebirds in action, or just take the time to enjoy their surroundings at the home of both Cardiff City and Wales’s National teams.
Speaking following the donation, Supporters' Trust Chair Keith Morgan said:
“The Trust is delighted to be able to support the Foundation’s work to complete the impressive Sensory Room project at the Cardiff City Stadium by meeting the £3,000 cost of a mural.
“The Trust recognises the importance of supporting children and young people with sensory impairment and we’re thrilled to see the end product of the art work created by the talented Rianne Rowlands. It is superb."
Seven year-old Harry, a huge City fan, was impressed with the new mural when he used the Sensory Room recently.
Harry is unable to watch his beloved Bluebirds in the stadium bowl due to his ADHD. Since finding out about the Sensory Room, he’s been a regular to home games with his dad, Chris, where he can watch in a welcoming environment.
“The Sensory Room has allowed us to enjoy going to watch Cardiff City as father and son. It allows Harry to escape and regulate when needed, and provides an enjoyable way of doing so. We are extremely grateful to the Foundation for providing these facilities.”
