THISTLE WORKS

Thistle Works is accessible to all with any kind of disability, providing the opportunity for individuals with different impairments to play football together, regardless of the limitations in play by breaking down the barriers they may face while trying to get involved in the game of football.

Thistle Works also helps to improve their discipline, time- keeping, attendance, uniform skills and verbal/non-verbal communication, which are all transferable skills that they can take into their job-seeking or further education. This has also given them a network of friends.

The Trust also have two teams who are registered within the SFA PAN Disability league, which is a series of bi-monthly league competitions for players with additional support needs.
