Our inclusive walking football group offers a friendly and supportive (re)introduction to movement, designed for people of all abilities and experience levels. Whether you’re returning to physical activity after a break or trying something new for the first time, this group provides a relaxed, pressure-free way to get moving.
This is a drop-in group, giving you the flexibility to attend when it suits you. Sessions focus on fun, accessible games and gentle physical activity, with adaptations available to ensure everyone can take part comfortably. There is no pressure to compete — participation is always optional and at your own pace.
Alongside weekly sessions, the group also has opportunities to take part in friendly games and local tournaments for those who would like to get involved. These are approached in a supportive, inclusive way, with an emphasis on teamwork, enjoyment, and shared experience rather than winning.
The group offers a great chance to meet like-minded people in your community, build confidence, and enjoy the social benefits of being active together. The atmosphere is welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging.
The group runs weekly in Whitehaven and Mid Copeland, making it easy to access regular activity in a familiar community setting. Sessions are led by supportive facilitators who prioritise inclusion, enjoyment, and wellbeing.
This group is ideal for anyone looking to improve their physical wellbeing, reconnect with movement, and feel part of a friendly, community-focused team — no previous experience or fitness level required.
