Walking Football Programme
We’re thrilled to be launching the Age UK Walking Football Programme in Trafford, thanks to funding from Sport England on 15th February 2022. We welcome all older people but we are also particularly interested in older woman who want to try the programme. So if you are over 50 and interested get in touch.

Being active is good for physical and mental health whatever your age and it’s especially important as we get older.
It can improve confidence and wellbeing, help older people live independently for longer, and reduce isolation and loneliness. It’s been a difficult time for older people in our community during the pandemic, and our walking football programme will be a great opportunity for older people to feel active and socialise in a safe and fun environment.”
