Albany raises £200 for Oxford United Walking Football Club

Albany Care Home in Headington proudly announced the success of their recent Summer Fete, where they raised £200 in support of Oxford United Walking Football Club. The funds will be used to sponsor the club’s upcoming Walkathon, a 24-hour walking challenge in aid of children with Down’s Syndrome.

 

 

Supporting local charities and causes

 

The Summer Fete was a vibrant and well-attended event, with residents, staff, and the local community coming together to support a cause close to their hearts. The £200 raised will directly contribute to the Walking Football Club’s efforts to make a positive impact in the lives of children with Down’s Syndrome, while also helping to promote the benefits of walking football.

Oxford United Walking Football Club offers a slower-paced version of the beautiful game, specifically designed for men over 50 and women aged over 18. This inclusive sport provides an opportunity for participants to stay active, socialise, and enjoy the game they love in a supportive environment.

 

A huge thank you

 

Albany Care Home expressed its heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the fundraising effort, emphasising that their generosity will help keep the spirit of football alive and kicking.
