Stratford Town Walking Football Club was formed with a simple ambition: to give adults the opportunity to enjoy football again, make new friendships, stay active and represent Stratford Town with pride.
In just over a year, the club has grown from an opening session of 14 players into a thriving walking football community with more than 170 members and teams competing across a range of age groups.
Walking football gives people the chance to pull on a football shirt again, stay physically active, build friendships and become part of a team. For many of our players, it has brought back something they thought they had lost when their traditional football days came to an end.
Off the pitch, our profile continues to grow. Our Facebook content generates more than 250,000 views every 90 days, we have a growing social following of more than 700 people, and our activities are regularly shared by Stratford Town FC to an audience of more than 9,000 followers.
We are also fortunate to receive regular coverage from the Stratford Herald and Stratford Observer, including match reports, photographs and club news.
We are now looking for local businesses who would like to become part of our journey.
Sponsorship will help us meet the costs of league football, pitch hire, referees, playing kit and equipment while allowing us to continue providing high-quality opportunities for our players.
In return, we want to offer much more than simply placing a company logo on a shirt. We want to develop genuine partnerships with businesses that believe in community, health, wellbeing and lifelong participation in sport.
Our aim is for Stratford Town Walking Football Club to become a beacon for walking football and an example of what can be achieved when football, friendship and community come together.
We would love a local business to join us on that journey.
