As President of Walking Football Scotland, I am both proud and privileged to reflect on the strength and significance of our partnership with Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland.

This collaboration is rooted in a shared commitment to improving lives across Scotland—promoting physical activity, enhancing mental wellbeing, and fostering inclusive communities.

Walking football provides a unique and accessible opportunity for individuals of all abilities, particularly those recovering from or living with long-term health conditions, to re-engage with sport in a safe and supportive environment.

Through our partnership, we have seen first-hand the transformative impact that regular participation, social connection, and structured support can deliver. Together, we are not only encouraging healthier lifestyles, but also helping to rebuild confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging among participants.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone involved in making this partnership such a success. It stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when organisations align with a common purpose and a shared vision for positive change.
