Walking football has been growing rapidly in recent years across the country – and Cumbria is no exception.

Teams, both for men and women, have been formed and it’s increasingly being linked to a way of improving mental health as well as a regular health benefit for the Over-40s.

Two new sessions are to start in Gosforth and Workington.
