A care home has provided a sponsorship for a newly-formed walking football team.
Sunnybank House care home in Fair Oak has given their support to the Eastleigh Mobility Football Group.
This sponsorship saw the care home provide a new kit for the group, which is made up of players with a range of health conditions including Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
The group was formed to give people who thought they would never play competitive sport again a chance to play.
