Football fan? Help this gentleman roar on the Royals!

Roar on the Royals!
This 50 year old man who is in a wheelchair is looking for a volunteer to take him to football matches and maybe to go out to the pub afterwards.
At other times he would like to go with a volunteer on the bus or Readibus into Reading to visit the shops and have a coffee/drink together to give him different sights and sounds to the ones in the home he has to live in due to his care needs.
He will not require any personal care from a volunteer whilst out but he will need pushing in his wheelchair.
