Norwich City Parkinsons walking football

Parkinson's Walking Football gives adults who have Parkinson's disease or other neurological conditions the chance to benefit from free weekly football, followed by a friendly and supportive social session. Run by Norwich City Community Sports Foundation, the initiative provides a friendly support group for its participants and an outlet from day-to-day stresses, as well as a way to stay physically healthy and fit through football. It runs alongside Team Talk, the Foundation's walking football session with a focus on mental health. Each weekly session includes 60 minutes of football followed by 30 minutes of social interaction, with refreshments provided. The Foundation also shares Parkinson's UK guidance on falls and dizziness with participants, and describes the programme as a slower-paced version of the game aimed at people living with Parkinson's.
