About Us
We're a Derby charity using walking football to help older people stay fit, healthy, and connected to their community.
Our Mission
Loneliness is a serious problem for older people across the UK. Too many spend days without meaningful conversation or companionship. At the same time, staying physically active becomes harder as we age — but it's never been more important.
We believe walking football is the perfect solution. It brings people together around a game they love, provides gentle but regular exercise, and creates friendships that last beyond the pitch. Our sessions are free, welcoming, and designed to make everyone feel part of something special.

Serving our community
Proud to Be Derby
We're born and bred in Derby, and we're passionate about serving our local community. Our sessions take place across the city, from Pride Park to local community centres, making walking football accessible to as many older people as possible. We're supported by Derby City Council, local businesses, and hundreds of generous individual donors who believe in what we do.
Help Us Grow
We rely on donations to keep our sessions free and expand to new locations. With your support, we can reach more elderly people who need us.
