Never Too Old to Play
Join Derby's friendly walking football sessions — stay active, make friends, and combat loneliness through the beautiful game.
Football at Your Pace
We're a Derby-based charity helping elderly people stay healthy and connected through walking football. No running, no pressure — just friendship, gentle exercise, and the joy of being part of a team.
What We Offer
Combat Loneliness
Make genuine friendships with people who share your love of football. Our sessions are as much about the chat and laughter as they are about the game.
Stay Active
Gentle, regular exercise designed for older bodies. Walking football keeps you moving without the strain, helping you maintain fitness and independence.
Rediscover Football
Whether you played as a youngster or you're trying football for the first time, walking football brings back the magic at a pace that works for you.
What Our Players Say
I was spending too much time at home on my own. Now I look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays — it's the highlight of my week. The lads have become proper friends.
I thought my football days were over after my knee trouble. Walking football has given me my confidence back. I'm fitter now than I was five years ago.
Help Us Keep Playing
Your donation helps us keep sessions free for elderly people across Derby, providing equipment, venue hire, and coaching. Every gift makes a difference.
