Sponsor Afro-Caribbean Walking Football

Help Us Build Healthier, More Connected Communities

Get Active. Stay Active. Socialise.

Afro-Caribbean Walking Football believes that growing older should never mean becoming less active, less connected or less engaged with life.

Our internationally recognised walking football teams have achieved considerable success on the pitch. However, our greatest ambition extends far beyond competition.

We want to use the profile of our teams to inspire more people—particularly those aged over 50 within African and Caribbean communities—to experience the physical, mental and social benefits of walking football.

Football Is the Vehicle. Health and Wellbeing Are the Goal.

Many people only begin thinking seriously about their health after problems arise. Walking football offers a positive, enjoyable and preventative approach.

It brings people together through a shared love of football, providing opportunities to:

• Become more physically active.
• Improve fitness, mobility and confidence.
• Make new friends.
• Reduce loneliness and social isolation.
• Support better mental wellbeing.
• Enjoy a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Our international teams help attract attention and inspire participation. Their success gives us credibility, but improving community health gives us purpose.

Our Vision

Our vision is to take walking football into African and Caribbean communities across the UK through exhibition matches, participation events and local engagement.

We want to encourage more people over 50 to try walking football, make new friends and discover that age does not have to be a barrier to physical activity.

With the right support, we can reach communities that traditional health campaigns often struggle to engage.

What Your Support Will Help Us Achieve

Your sponsorship or donation can help us:

• Deliver community exhibition matches.
• Organise walking football participation and taster events.
• Introduce the sport to new African and Caribbean communities.
• Encourage healthier lifestyles through regular physical activity.
• Help establish sustainable local walking football groups.
• Promote positive messages about preventative health and healthy ageing.
• Enable our international teams to act as ambassadors for community health and wellbeing.

Every contribution, regardless of its size, helps us reach more people, create more opportunities and build stronger, healthier and better-connected communities.

Our international teams inspire participation. Participation changes lives.
