Jo Wiggins, a lifelong Watford fan and Season Ticket holder, was a worthy winner of the Supporter of the Season prize.
A volunteer for autism charity Anna Kennedy Online for 12 years, Jo was inspired by the Sensory Room at Vicarage Road which is designed for autistic children who may struggle to cope in the noisy environment of a football stadium.
She contacted the club eight years ago to help promote the Sensory Room, so more children are able to benefit from it, and now runs events in the room on matchdays.
Since 2019, Jo has organised many private tours of the ground, as well as hosting fun days for families with children and adults.
She has organised an autism-friendly quieter hour at the Junior Hornets Christmas party, with some fans who have benefitted from Jo’s working going from never having attended a match to becoming Season Ticket holders.
In December, the club will mark the 10th anniversary of the Sensory Room, with Jo’s excellent work set to continue.
She is also a member of the We Allies group.
David Butler, the winner of the award last season, presented Jo with her trophy.
Thank you and congrats, Jo!
