Come along and try a friendly taster session of Walking Football - an inclusive, non-contact activity where running is not permitted, making it suitable for all fitness levels and abilities. This relaxed and supportive session is designed especially for carers who are looking to improve their wellbeing, stay active, and enjoy some time for themselves.
Walking football offers all the enjoyment of the traditional game but at a slower pace, focusing on fun, teamwork, and participation rather than competition. Whether you’re completely new to football or returning after some time away, this session provides a welcoming environment to get involved and give it a go.
During the session, participants will:
Take part in a gentle introduction to walking football in a safe, supportive setting
Improve physical health, mobility, and coordination through light activity
Boost mental wellbeing by reducing stress and increasing confidence
Meet and connect with fellow carers in a sociable, encouraging group
Enjoy a fun, relaxed experience with no pressure or expectations
No prior experience is needed. Just come along, wear comfortable clothing, and enjoy being part of the group. This is a great opportunity to try something new, build confidence, and take a positive step towards improving your overall wellbeing.
Available Dates / Times:

Notes
At Lanarkshire Carers, we try our very best to ensure that carers get access to as much information and training opportunities as possible to help them in their caring role. We provide free of charge training courses to ensure that no carer will ever be unable to attend due to financial reasons. However, there is a cost to us and for some courses, it can be considerable.
We understand that as carers, something can arise which would prevent you from attending a pre-registered course. If you are unable to attend please contact us as soon as possible. Many of these courses have a waiting list and unless we know, we are unable to offer your place to someone else.
