Alton Walking Football Club played a few sponsored walking football matches over the festive period and raised £1,000 for Cardiac Health.
The club has 40 members aged from 50 to 78 who continue to play the beautiful game – but a lot slower.
Cardiac Health centre manager Denise Ellis was presented with the cheque at Alton FC’s Anstey Park Enclosure ground, where the club plays, on February 2.

- 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.

“Some of our members have been through hard times recently. After attending your events and carrying out your tailored exercises they have achieved full recoveries and are still able to play the beautiful game.
“I hope our small contribution to you will help you provide more courses and advice to more and more people and your organisation can go from strength to strength. Thank you from all at the Alton Walking Football Club.”
The club plays on Mondays from 3.30pm to 5pm and Thursdays from 3pm to 4pm.
