Edinburgh City WF are most grateful to the following organisations for their support in promoting walking football
Edinburgh City Walking Football is affiliated to Walking Football Scotland, a charitable organisation whose role is to develop and promote walking football across Scotland www.walkingfootballscotland.org
In November 2016 a partnership was agreed between Meadowbank walking football group and the SPFL football club Edinburgh City to create Edinburgh City Walking Foootball.
The many benefits to both parties include:
Creating a pathway through the Scottish Walking Football Network that is strongly supported by the SFA, SPFL Trust, Scottish Association of Mental Health, Age Scotland and Paths for All
Raising the profile of both groups to wider sections of the community
Promoting health and wellbeing to an older age group
Increasing social opportunities with like minded individuals
Sharing of resources
The SPFL Trust have kindly awarded balls, bibs and a small financial grant to Edinburgh City Walking Football.
