Maidenhead FC

A new collaboration between the Optalis Community Lives Team and Maidenhead FC ‘Magpies in the Community’ have held ‘Walking Football’ sessions for the people we support.

The ‘Walking football’ sessions held at the football club have been attended by a regular group of men, supported by men.

This has helped instil a sense of comradery, which has had knock-on benefits. The rapport between the group members and coaches has given people the opportunity to be themselves.

The environment and atmosphere support the group to have fun, exercise and enjoy the support and encouragement from each other.
