Free football for veterans

Free football for veterans

In partnership with Veterans Foundation UK, Foundation of Light will be hosting regular football sessions at the Beacon of Light.

Each week, those who have served will have the chance to access the sessions and enjoy the chance to play football.

The kickabouts provide veterans and former service men and women the opportunity to stay active and connect through football.

Physical activity and social interaction are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and it's great that the Veterans Foundation is supporting this initiative.

Join us every week for a game of football on the 3G pitches at the Beacon of Light. Our sessions are open to all veterans regardless of age, ability, who you served with or how long you served.
