MK Walkers Football Club

MK Walkers Football Club is a renowned football club located in the town of Milton Keynes, New Zealand. Established in February 2015, MK Walkers FC is Milton Keynes' first walking football club and has since become a prominent force in the local football scene.

The club meets twice a week, on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 8pm, at the Woughton On The Green Astro Pitch. This state-of-the-art facility provides the perfect setting for players of all ages to come together and enjoy the sport they love.

Health and well-being are at the forefront of MK Walkers FC's philosophy. Walk football has been proven to not only bring fitness benefits, but also improves mental sharpness and overall well-being. In fact, playing over 50s walk football twice a week yields similar results as training for younger athletes who play football daily. This makes MK Walkers FC a great club for individuals of all ages who are looking to stay fit and active.

In addition to the physical benefits, walking football also offers a multitude of health benefits to older people. It has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, improve blood pressure, balance, cholesterol levels, and bone density. It also helps in improving reactions and lowering the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. The club believes in the power of walking football to promote better health and well-being among its members.

MK Walkers FC is not only focused on personal health but also on giving back to the community. The club hosts an annual interclub 11-a-side charity match played on grass with walk football rules. This event has raised over 3000 for the Survivors of Bereavement By Suicide (SOBS) charity, which provides support to families who have lost a loved one to suicide. The club is proud to support this worthy cause and encourages others to donate to support SOBS.

Being part of MK Walkers FC is more than just a kick-about. It is about being part of a growing family and a great way to make friends. The club emphasises the importance of social inclusion and networking, providing an environment where individuals can come together, enjoy the sport, and build lasting relationships.

The club has been supported by funding from the MK Community Foundation, a testament to their commitment to the local community and their efforts in promoting active and healthy lifestyles.

Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, enhance your mental well-being, or simply want to be part of a supportive and inclusive community, MK Walkers Football Club is the perfect club for you. Come along and see for yourself what makes this club so special!
