John Simpson, DADSC Secretary, was interviewed by Jordan Burt for an article broadcast several times on 19 March 2019 by That`sTV East of Scotland (Freeview Channel 8).
Saturday 15 March was Disabled Access Day throughout the UK, with many venues holding special events to mark the day and increase awareness of disability issues.

Huge thanks to the ever-generous Pars fans, who donated £655 to the DADSC First Floor Access Fund at a bucket collection which took place on 20 April before the match against Queens Park at KDM Group East End Park.
DADSC`s bucket collection teams visited the two Asda stores in Dunfermline (St Leonards and Halbeath) on 10 and 17 March, raising £367 for the First Floor Access fund. Many thanks to Asda, to the many people who donated so generously, and of course to our team of Josephine Chesby, David Henderson, Dave Nugent and John Simpson
The Week of Action headed by CAFE (Centre for Access to Football in Europe), uses #TotalAccess to harness the power of sport as a catalyst for disability-inclusive change in wider society. For 2024, DADSC and DAFC promoted the work done by The Pars Foundation and local charity Fairway Fife to build the confidence of those with autism or other learning disabilities and make them feel less isolated within our community.
