Watford fc host sensory room experience for children with autism

Thank you to Watford FC for once again supporting our charity Anna Kennedy Online.

Families of autistic children, along with their siblings, had a wonderful time attending the Watford FC v Ipswich game.
The club’s fantastic sensory room made the experience even more special and inclusive for everyone.
A huge thank you to our AKO charity champion, Jo Wiggins , for coordinating such a lovely evening for our families.

‘Thank you, Anna Kennedy Online, it was great to meet everyone tonight. The Elvin family loved seeing you all again. The sensory room is absolutely amazing, and we hope everyone who experiences it enjoys it just as much as we did. Huge thanks to Jo Wiggins , Anna Kennedy, and #watfordfc for creating such a wonderful experience for our family xxx ‘
