Ajay joins The Walking Football Corner

Ajay is a quiet but valued member of our Walking Football programme and The Walking Football Corner has given him the opportunity to build social connections more effectively. We have seen Ajay’s confidence grow significantly over this time, talking to more people and getting involved in more of the interactions and camaraderie between players at weekly sessions. He has seemed more engaged at sessions, even supporting social interactions between others and being a key member of the group encouraging others to attend The Walking Football Corner.

Ajay has spoken to us about how personally his mental wellbeing is boosted as a result of attending these events due to being able to share on relatable topics like the different health ailments the participants are experiencing. This level of sharing has supported Ajay to feel more at peace with what he’s going through as he’s supported by friends and feels like he’s in a safe and inclusive space.
