Never Watch Alone

Embrace Wigan and Leigh

Main information

Type of service: Play and leisure

Enables football and rugby league supporters with a learning disability to attend matches alongside fellow supporters. Are you over 18 years old and fanatical about sport, do you love the Latics or the Warriors? This initiative brings the local community together through football and rugby league. Buddy up - as a friend not a carer - and live out your passion watching the Latics or the Warriors at the DW Stadium with someone who shares the excitement of the match as well as the camaraderie and socialising before and after the game. You don't need experience, just a genuine passion for your sport.
