Parkinson's Walking Football (Team Talk) 2025

Welcome to our brand new Parkinson's Walking Football Session

We have spent the last few months upskilling our workforce and collaborating with other Foundations such as Arsenal, AFC Wimbledon and Middlesborough to launch an all new Parkinson's specific walking football group made possible by the EFLitC (English Football League in the community) https://www.efl.com/community/.

Being active with Parkinson's can help reduce the risk of falls by improving balance and coordination. "Parkinson's UK".

The session will run alongside but seperate to our current Team Talk provision on Thursday's 12-1:30pm. A 60 minute football session followed by 30 mins of social interaction, with refreshments provided. Sessions will also be supported by an on call mental health first aider.
