Level Playing Field Membership Season 2014/15

LPF Membership year 2014/15 begins on 1st September 2014.  

Level Playing Field has had another busy year which has seen significant progress across a number of sports in improving the quality of facilities and services offered to disabled spectators. Co-operation has been established with the FA, Rugby Football League, Rugby World Cup 2015 and the England and Wales Cricket Board. The successes of LPF’s professional Access Audit programme continue. Key stakeholders including Government and Sports Governing Bodies are also adding their support to LPF's aims and objectives. More information on our work over the last year can be found in the 2013/14 Annual Report.
