Earlier this month, the Sutton United Foundation Walking Football Team and The Change Foundation combined to play some friendly matches at The Change Foundation’s centre in Beddington.
The Change Foundation has had a Walking Football group in existence since 2016, with 45 signed up members, and the day with Sutton United provided an opportunity to bring two groups of walking sport participants together where we split up the teams, so they were able to mix in together, feeling a sense of community and play some friendly matches against one another. Six teams of about six players per team, and everyone got to play against each other once. The day went very well and was great to see the groups being able to celebrate the amazing impact that walking football and feeling part of a community has on those who take part….
The Sutton United Foundation run sessions on Wednesday mornings at Goals Soccer Centre in North Cheam, and further details can be found here
The Change Foundation runs a number of other Active Ageing activities throughout the week for the over 55s including; cricket on a Monday, netball on a Wednesday, and table tennis and football for those who are less mobile or are beginners on a Friday morning.
