The visit gave residents the opportunity to experience the excitement of live football in a welcoming environment. From the atmosphere in the stands to the action on the pitch, it was an afternoon filled with energy, anticipation and shared celebration.

Residents were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the match from the Directors box, treated to wonderful hospitality throughout the match. The experience was made even more memorable when residents had the chance to meet several players from both Chesham United and Maidstone United. The players took time to chat, pose for photographs and sign autographs, creating lasting memories for everyone involved.

For many residents, attending a live football match provided an opportunity for connecting with others, and enjoying new experiences together. Outings such as this play an important role in promoting independence, confidence and social inclusion.

Lucy Goodman, Service Manager said:

“We are incredibly grateful to Chesham United for their generous hospitality and for making our residents feel so welcome. Experiences like this are about much more than sport they are about inclusion, community and creating moments that bring people together. Seeing the excitement on our residents’ faces as they met the players and cheered on the teams was truly special.”
