A walking football tournament took place last week in Dronfield and featured six different teams from around the local area.
Walking football, which is growing rapidly around the world, was founded in Chesterfield.
Trust chief executive John Croot, who attended the tournament to present the trophy, was pleased to see the amount of people taking part.
He said: “It’s so good to see so many people getting involved within walking football. As a club, we are passionate about getting involved in local community projects and to see stuff like this going on fills me with pride. The Trust does a fantastic job and we’re so proud of everything that goes on.
“It’s particularly good to see us dealing with a big problem in society, which is getting older people out of the house and socialising with people.”
