Newmedica supports walking football at Slough Town FC

Slough Town Football Club’s walking football section has a new principal partner.

Newmedica Slough, an eye health clinic and surgical centre, will provide support for the growing section.

The partnership means Newmedica will feature on the rear of the Walking Football teams’ home shirts.

As a consultant-led eye health clinic and surgical centre based in Slough, Newmedica is passionate about supporting the local community and helping people stay active, independent and able to enjoy the activities they love.

Walking football perfectly reflects those values, providing an inclusive way for people to keep fit, stay social and continue playing the game they love.

As a consultant-led eye health facility, Newmedica caters for more than 306,000 NHS and private patients per year, concentrating on protecting their eyesight by treating advanced eye conditions.

Their support for Slough Town Football Club’s walking section underlines their commitment to community-centric initiatives.

Steve Shiel, manager of Slough Town walking football, said: “We are very pleased that Newmedica has very generously sponsored Slough’s walking football division.

“They will ensure all our teams are kitted out for the new season and we sincerely thank Newmedica for their support.”

We look forward to working together to support both our Walking Football section and the wider Slough community.

Slough Town FC have expressed their gratitude towards Newmedica and their intent to work together in supporting both their walking football segment and the broader community…
