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

Do you love football and want to help older adults stay active? Age UK Kensington and Chelsea, in partnership with Chelsea FC Foundation, runs inclusive Walking Football sessions in North Kensington.

Walking football is a safe, fun, and sociable way to re-introduce physical activity to people in later life. Whether they are lifelong players or new to the sport, your role is to help them enjoy the game in a supportive environment, keeping their minds and bodies active while fostering a sense of team belonging.
