New Over 55s mixed walking football session launched at Beacon

We are pleased to announce that with the help of Change the Game, Wear Together have launched a new Walking Football session on Tuesdays at the Beacon of Light.

The Over 55s session is open to both men and women, and runs from 10am-11am every Tuesday on the Beacon’s indoor rooftop pitch.

Walking Football is an ideal activity for over 55s to keep active, and is a great way to get out of the house and make new friends.

It is £1 per session to take part with no need to book in advance. For any further enquiries about the session, contact Jade at: Jade.Gilbertson@foundationoflight.co.uk or call 0191 5634 749
