“Why We Walk – A Story of Football, Friendship, and Giving Back”

In parks and halls across the country, there’s a sound that’s easy to miss — the thud of a gently passed football, the laughter of teammates, and the occasional cheer when someone scores a goal, even if it’s in slow motion. This is the sound of Walking Football, where passion for the beautiful game never fades with age — it simply finds a gentler rhythm.

But walking football isn’t just about keeping fit. It’s about community, connection, and second chances.

For many of our players, football is more than sport — it’s rehabilitation. Some have faced heart attacks, strokes, or chronic chest conditions. Others are rediscovering confidence, rebuilding friendships, or simply finding joy in movement again. And behind so many of those journeys is our partner charity that understands what it means to keep going when life knocks you off your feet: Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS).

That’s why, once again this year, as a collective body at Walking Football Scotland with all our clubs, players and supporters, we are proud to raise money for our charity partners at CHSS.

We see their work every day — in the lives of our players, their families, and our wider communities. From supporting stroke survivors to helping people live well with heart and lung conditions, CHSS makes a real difference. And so, we walk. We play. We raise. Not just for fitness, but for a future where everyone gets the support they need to live life to the full.

Because walking football isn’t about slowing down — it’s about stepping up.

And together, with every pass and every pound raised, we’re making sure no one faces chest, heart, or stroke conditions alone.
