Walking Football is a slower paced, small, sided version of normal football with certain rules that differ. It involves always keeping one foot on the ground whether on or off the ball and a great way for people over-55 to enjoy football and keep active.
It is very similar to an ordinary game of football which is adapted with different rules and smaller sided teams.
Sessions take place every Tuesday and Thursday at the Beacon of Light in Sunderland.
Whether your child is keen to develop their football skills or try out creative activities like baking and arts, our holiday courses offer a safe and friendly environment to keep youngsters engaged in the school holidays.
Foundation of Light is helping people turn New Year’s resolutions into lasting change in 2026, with health and wellbeing programmes supporting physical activity, mental wellbeing, and lifestyle changes.
While the Black Cats faced the Magpies for the first time in eight years in league competition, the official charities of the North East rivals united behind a greater cause.
