Armley: Walking Fooball & Sporting Reminiscence Event

We are very grateful to The Sported Foundation for their support in helping us deliver a Walking Football and Sporting Reminiscence Event at Armley Leisure Centre on Monday, 20th April 2026.

This funding allows us to provide a welcoming two-hour session for older adults, including those living with dementia, combining gentle physical activity with opportunities to reconnect through shared sporting memories. Participants can take part in a walking football taster session, a slower-paced, non-contact version of the game that requires no running or prior experience.

Alongside this, we will host sporting reminiscence activities to encourage people to share stories and memories from sport that spark conversation and social connection. The session will also include accessible activities such as Boccia, gentle movement, and coordination exercises; family members and carers are warmly encouraged to join.
