Celebrating Learning Disability Week 2026!

This week, Grimsby Town Foundation was proud to attend the Learning Disability Celebration Day at cafe aspire as part of National Learning Disability Week, joining partners, participants, families and organisations from across the community to celebrate inclusion, achievement and opportunity.

At the Foundation, we believe that football has the power to bring people together and create opportunities for everyone. Through our Ability Counts programme and wider community initiatives, we provide inclusive opportunities for people with learning disabilities to take part in sport, build confidence, develop friendships and be part of the Grimsby Town family.

It was fantastic to meet so many people throughout the day, celebrate the achievements of individuals with learning disabilities and showcase the positive impact that inclusive sport and community programmes can have on people’s lives.

Whether you’re looking to get active, meet new people or simply have fun in a supportive environment, we’d love to welcome you to one of our sessions.

⚽ Interested in getting involved?
Our Ability Counts sessions are open to people with learning disabilities and provide a safe, inclusive and enjoyable way to play football and develop new skills.

Week 2 in the USA has been another incredible adventure for our student coaches! 🇺🇸☀️

Abi has been soaking up life in Chino Valley, Arizona, where she has stayed with the most amazing host family. They took her paddle boarding at the stunning Goldwater Lake and out to explore the beautiful town of Prescott. Abi wasn't entirely sure she knew how to correctly use a paddle board at first, but she soon got the hang of it! Although, seriously... going from learning the basics to pulling off a headstand on a paddle board is pretty impressive! 🤸‍♀️🏄‍♀️ Most of us would consider simply standing up and not falling in as a major achievement! 😂

Alongside coaching the Tiny Tykes again this week and working split shifts, Abi has certainly made the most of her time in Arizona. This week, she's heading back to California ready for the next camp adventure! 🌵🏄‍♀️🏕️

Meanwhile, Harry has been living his best life in Eagle, Colorado – a truly beautiful place surrounded by breathtaking mountains. His host family have been absolutely incredible, and he says he could happily live with them every day! Harry has been enjoying time in the infamous "secret man cave" (although we're not so sure it's a secret anymore!) complete with its own cinema and golf simulator. As if that wasn't enough, he's been mountain biking, playing golf, fishing, and spending time out on a boat. The real question is... have you actually worked this week, Harry?! 😂⛳🚴‍♂️🎣🚤

We also have to mention Harry proudly showing off his latest fishing catch... Who better than someone called Harry to go fishing and actually catch a fish?! 🎣🐟 Although, coming from Grimsby, we can't fully approve of his efforts... it's not a haddock! 🐟😂 Better luck next time, Harry!

Lastly, a huge shout-out to Lily, who stepped up as Camp Director this week and has received fantastic feedback from managers, parents, and staff at the ground. She should be incredibly proud of how well everything has gone! Lily has also conquered one of her biggest fears – driving in America. Well done, Lily! 🚗👏

When she's not leading the camp team, Lily has been making the most of the sunshine by kayaking, spending plenty of time at the pool, doing some diving, and watching the World Cup with some of the other coaches. 🛶🏊‍♀️⚽

It's amazing to see all of our student coaches embracing these experiences, growing in confidence, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to see what Week 3 has in store!
❤️🇺🇸

What an incredible first week in the USA for Lily and Abi! 🇺🇸⚽️

Lily has been based at Ken Caryl Ranch House this week for soccer camp and has been lucky enough to stay with the most amazing host family, complete with two children and their lovely dog. They very kindly took her to their other home in Breckenridge for the weekend, where she enjoyed even more adventures. The weather has been fantastic, and they have packed so much into just one week! Lily discovered pickleball, played volleyball with the locals, and wrapped up the first week of camp on Friday with a huge water fight before heading straight to the pool afterwards. Also pictured is the Empower Field at Mile High - Denver, Colorado; home of the Denver Broncos NFL Team, with a capacity of 76,125 seats.

Lily has now made the short journey to Aurora, where she will take on the role of Camp Director and stay with a different host family.

Meanwhile, Abi has had an amazing first week in Arizona. She has been coaching the TinyTikes (3–5 year olds) each morning from 8:00–8:45am before working with the older children from 9:00am–4:00pm. Away from camp, Abi has been welcomed with incredible hospitality, having been taken out for dinner by three different families during the week. In her own words, she was also treated to a beautiful walk around the Grand Canyon – an experience she won't forget in a hurry!

Pictured below is Lily and Harry - proudly flying the Grimsby Town flag in the States! 🖤⚪️🐟🇺🇸

It's safe to say everybody has had a fantastic first week, making memories and embracing every opportunity that comes their way.

More updates to follow! ⚽️🇺🇸❤️

One parent travelled over 3.5 hours to get their child to Kellogg's Football Camp! When Sebastian's mum, Cat Hatley, found out that Kellogg's Football Camps were kicking off in Grimsby she seized the opportunity.

“Every year, we visit the area for a trip to the seaside and to buy the new kit, but this time was extra special. He got to play in the Grimsby Town kit while being coached by coaches. He really felt like he was part of the Club for a day and came out with a massive smile on his face.”

As a parent, Cat was a bit worried. “Not being from the area, I was a little worried that he might feel left out if the other kids all knew each other,” she added. “But as I waited to pick him up, I saw his new friends hugging him to say goodbye. It turned out Seb had scored the winning goal.”

Impressed by their long journey, the Club offered Sebastian the chance to go pitch side at the stadium. Mum concluded: “I was so delighted that Seb got to follow his heart, making new friends, and enjoying football like never before. We'll definitely be back next year.”

Our University of South Wales students will be based across Colorado, Denver and South Carolina, whilst also exploring many other areas of the United States as they travel each week and stay with different host families along the way.

They will be coaching throughout the summer on Challenger Sports football camps across North America & Canada, with some of them directing and being in charge of the camps, after completing trial days in Manchester and Warwick.
