This year’s focus is on invisible disability.

Those of you who were at Wembley or watched our Carabao Cup Final may have seen Wembley supported the campaign with a British Sign Language (BSL) performance of God Save The King.

You may also remember last year in October, when history was made as Chelsea FC had a performance of Blue is the Colour on the pitch from Hands 4 Voices and Unifyat halftime.

There were lots of interactions from both men’s and women’s players.

Chelsea Disabled Supporters’ Association and Chelsea Supporters’ Trust are taking this opportunity to highlight and support this important campaign for invisible disabilities.

Hidden disabilities are often overlooked because it’s not visible or not immediately obvious This makes it challenging. It is important to not only uplift and support, but also to raise awareness and provide a little education about how it feels to have a disability that can’t be seen.
