Walsall Council is supporting Walsall FC Foundation’s new walking football initiative for veterans and the broader armed forces community, which will be launched at the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium on Tuesday 17 June 2025.
Walsall FC Foundation, the official charity of Walsall Football Club, is delivering the walking football sessions for veterans and serving members of the armed forces and their families as part of its new Health Hub.
In addition to the weekly walking football sessions, the Health Hub also offers coffee mornings for everyone within the armed forces community. These activities will take place every Tuesday between 10AM-12PM.
- Perfect as one of your Walking Football gifts for both men and women, or bag it yourself, if you think Walking Football is more fun with less run! Where the speed of your feet matters less than the size of your smile. That’s why Walking Football rules!

Financial support has been provided through Walsall Council’s Resilient Communities Community Buildings and Cohesion Team, who support and equip the voluntary, community and faith sector around the Borough
Around 2.2% of Walsall’s population is identified as a member or veteran of the armed forces, equating to around 6,500 people – many of whom will also have families who fall within the Armed Forces Covenant.
