The Rangers Charity Foundation is delighted to announce that BOXT, one of its community sponsors, will continue to fund its Walking Football and Football Memories programmes for a second successive year. BOXT will also support the wider work of the Foundation over the course of the season.
Last season, the support from BOXT enabled both of these established programmes, which have already improved the lives of hundreds of people, to reach and help even more people.
With a further year of support, BOXT have ensured that both programmes will continue to run throughout the 2025/26 football season.
Football Memories helps fans living with dementia by using historic football photos and memorabilia to trigger memories and spark conversation. At the Ibrox Community Complex, trained coaches guide discussions about past teams and matches, using visual aids to encourage reminiscence and engagement. This year guests enjoyed visits and talks from ex-players including Colin Stein and Alex MacDonald as well as a visit from Jimmy Nicholl.
Participants and their carers have shared overwhelmingly positive feedback. The sessions have significantly improved confidence and self-esteem among attendees, while also offering carers a chance to connect with others in similar situations and enjoy a relaxed chat over a cup of tea.
- Embrace the health & social benefits of Walking Football with our “Walking Football – Is My Therapy” design perfect for players, supporters, & anyone who believes in the therapeutic magic of this socially inclusive, low-impact sport that gifts its players.

The Walking Football programme, open to those aged 50 and above, encourages physical activity and social interaction through a modified, non-contact version of the game. This slower-paced format reduces the risk of injury and strain, promotes fitness, and helps combat feelings of loneliness for many of its participants….
The Football Memories group meets on the second and last Friday of every month in the Ibrox Community Complex (ICC), opposite Ibrox Stadium, between 11:30am and 12:30pm.
Walking Football runs every Thursday at the ICC at 11am. Both programs are completely free for participants. More information can be found on the Rangers Charity Foundation website.
