Hi Hannah, do you think it would be useful to create a resource that explains the different ways to play? On the website: Walking Football | England Football there are details about how to find Clubs and Competitions and more informal opportunities through Just Play, and The Age UK programme.

With regards to the Age UK sessions, Hannah is correct they have now finished funding etc. However, we were able to get one up and running when there was. When funding was withdrawn and the Age UK people packed up and left we kept it going under our own steam so that the people left could carry on, which as you could imagine was very important to them.  I feel that more support should be offered to these initiatives when they expire to retain participants - e.g. transferring into a just play session?

In partnership with the London Borough of Hillingdon I approached pur locsl Age UK branch whi wasn't interested in walking football or any exercise activity ! So with Hillingdon Council I set up a Community walking football programme for Men, Women , mixed participants and our Dementia football project Forget Me Not Fc. The weekly sessions are funded by the Council , our Ckub fundraising and the FA Just Play scheme. The success of the programme has resulted in funding being approved for 2023.
