Age UK Kensington & Chelsea
Age UK Kensington & Chelsea is a local charity working with and for older people. We aim to promote independence and well-being in later life, encouraging self-help and peer support. We offer a wide range of services and activities, and provide interesting opportunities for people of all ages to get involved as volunteers.
Description

Age UK Kensington and Chelsea in partnership with Chelsea FC run different Walking Football sessions in North Kensington.

Walking football is a safe, fun and inclusive way of re-introducing physical activity to women and men in later life. It enables anybody – whether they are life-long football players, lapsed players or new to the sport – to give the game a go in a supportive and sociable environment. Because age doesn’t need to be a barrier for walking football players, older people can keep their mind and body active whilst enjoying the sportsmanship and a sense of belonging that comes with being part of a team. 

Age UK Kensington and Chelsea is currently looking for passionate, reliable and committed assistant football coach ready to take their coaching skills to the next level and can give support to Chelsea FC coach once a week.
