The National Association of Disabled Supporters (NADS) was established in 1998 and is the only national registered charity representing all disabled football supporters. Their objective is to promote an inclusive agenda and ensure a parity of supporter experiences for all fans. NADS represents the views, issues and concerns of disabled football supporters to football and governmental authorities and provides independent advice on disability issues as they affect the football community. NADS also heads up the disabled branch of 'Englandfans'.

NADS is an umbrella organization recognised as the representative and co-ordinating body of all disabled football supporters and their carers/advocates. An estimate that 30,000 disabled fans regularly attend football matches in England and the success of the disabled branch of 'Englandfans' shows that this passion naturally extends to the national team.

Strides have been made over recent years to improve facilities for disabled fans that most of us take for granted – as simple as a decent view, under cover and with your own fans, accessible toilets, bars, club shops, museums and accessible media (club TV and literature) and web sites. In most cases however there is still a clear deficit between the match-day and overall supporter experiences of disabled and able-bodied fans. NADS urges all supporters and stakeholders in football, able bodied and disabled, to support them in their aims and objectives by becoming a member of NADS.
