Nigel has received an influx of support from supporters and participants, for his hard work and commitment to his work in the disability provision.

Joanne O’Callaghan, whose son plays for the Foundation's under-12's Ability Counts team shared: “I think it is fantastic that Nigel has been recognised for the work he does with the kids. My son is part of the AVFC Ability Counts Under-12s team and since we found Nigel and his team, the change in my son has been amazing.

"It is about more than just football, it changes families’ lives. My son is now confident socialising with other children, he's happy and outgoing and has an amazing group of friends within the Ability Counts team.

"Thank you, Nigel, for all you do.”
