Toby Tyke will take part in a kickabout with Cheerio, the Barnsley Hospital charity mascot as part of a fun day to mark a disability awareness week.
The Barnsley FC mascot will be at Greenacre School on Wednesday to help celebrate Learning Disability Week, which is Mencap's national awareness week and is celebrating 'superheroes' in people's families.
Staff from the Barnsley learning disability service, Barnsley Hospital and Mencap have worked together to organise three events.
The first is a talk at the hospital for people with learning disabilities on Monday from 1.30-3pm, the second is the fun day on Wednesday from 10am-3pm and will also feature tai chi, pilates and art workshops, and a presentation by Alhambra staff on Friday.
Joanne Brown, of Barnsley learning disability services, said: "We organised the events this year to celebrate those we work with everyday, raise the profile of some of the challenges they face and highlight support available to local people with learning disabilities and their families."
