Walking Football participants with the #kickitout campaign

At Mansfield Town Community Trust, we have been running our walking football sessions for over 7 years! Our sessions aim to provide weekly training sessions and competitive fixtures to keep people over the age of 45 active and ensure people are able to participate in football, no matter what age.

Sessions are open to everyone and is not based on ability so that everyone is able to enjoy the sport.

Mansfield Town CT’s walking football team will play against other EFL walking football sides, local teams and participate in regional and national competitions.

All costs are reinvested to support the trust across all projects.

Health and Wellbeing officer delivering Active Minds

Mansfield Town Community Trust take great pride in supporting Mental Health & Wellbeing, Dementia Care and social well-being – with our weekly FREE activity, Active Minds. Split into two strands, Active Minds focuses on providing a safe and secure environment for those living with Mental Health issues, Dementia or facing Social Isolation to come together and unite through the power of sport – improving their health and social well-being. There is no need to book on either session, there is just a small piece of paperwork to fill out on arrival. Active Minds sessions are NOT ON during School Holidays.

Enlighten The Shadows is a local men’s mental health group looking to prevent male suicide. Enlighten The Shadows are particularly passionate about reaching men suffering in silence with their mental health. 12 men die a day from suicide and they want to stop that by providing partnerships like us at MTFC Community Trust. ETS will never stop our mission to bring light into the darkness of men’s lives.

What started in September, we have a brand new football provision working with ETS, over at All Saints Academy, NG19 6BW. This activity is for any age above 18 and any ability, and is a perfect chance to get to know some new people or old faces for a kick about.

Our new football session is a good chance to blow off some steam and a chance to offload afterwards with the Men’s Mental Health Group, Enlighten The Shadow. You can find their website here:
