Age UK Walking Football Bolton

Age UK has launched a new walking football programme at Bolton Arena, for older people in Bolton.

This new local scheme is part of a wider Age UK Walking Football programme supported by both The Football Association and Sport England, to help older people in communities such as Bolton, to keep active and to improve physical and mental wellbeing through playing the game.

Age UK’s walking football sessions at Bolton Arena will start on 28th January, and will be held at Bolton Arena, on Friday 10:00 – 11:00, for people over the age of 60, with the addition of complimentary post session tea, coffee and biscuits.

Women’s only sessions take place on Tuesday evenings from 19:00 – 20:00 at a cost of £2 per session

All sessions are outdoors, so attendees are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather and to bring a drink to keep hydrated. There is no maximum age on these sessions, and people of all abilities and previous experience are welcome. All groups and sessions are COVID-secure, delivered in accordance with Government guidelines.
