Work with the disabled
The CSE Trust now works with 90% of the specialist schools in Hertfordshire and helped found the Hertfordshire Inclusive League to give children and adults with disabilities a chance to participate in our nation's favourite game.

Sean and all his football team friends had a fantastic time at his matchday birthday party on Saturday and cannot praise Coach Ryan enough, who was brilliant with the boys and really helped to make the day! It was truly the best party Sean had had and all his friends agree it was the best birthday party they have gone to. So thank you and all the staff at Watford for making 12 nine year old boys and some 40 year old dads day as well!!
I was really impressed with the teams that managed the Dance and the Footie Workshops. The children really enjoyed themselves and I was lucky enough to see the children's dance rehearsal and the football presentation, which was fantastic. A BIG THANK YOU to all at Watford Community Trust.
My two sons attended the half term holiday course and had a brilliant time (their words, not mine). They were absolutely worn out and couldn't speak highly enough of it.
