We were thrilled to receive new sponsorship and grants, which allowed us to get tracksuits and training kits. This isn’t just about the kit itself—it’s about creating a sense of belonging, pride, and unity within our community. When everyone wears the same colours and feels part of the team, it strengthens connections, boosts morale, and makes every training session and match feel even more special.

We held our first social mixed tournament—open to players of all ages, men and women, who aren’t currently registered in any league.
As a club, our goal is to make walking football fun and accessible for everyone, regardless of age or ability. This social tournament is designed for those who don’t play competitively, giving them the chance to enjoy the game once a month, all year round, in a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment.

I’ve had a tough few years coming to terms with a new reality living with lymphoedema and it’s incredible that in such a short space of time, walking football has brought back my confidence. It’s even good for my condition because it’s a safe way to move! I’m also making the most amazing friends.
