Schools Project
“Lady Bankes Primary School has been thoroughly enjoying working with Wealdstone FC for the last seven years. During this time, the children in Year 3 have had the fantastic opportunity to have football sessions linked to maths learning. We have also had the privilege of being mascots at games, creating wonderful memories for the children. The opportunities that the football club has provided for our school have enhanced the children’s personal development and contributed to the school being judged outstanding by Ofsted (February 2024).”

Walking Football
“Walking football has been a game-changer for me, not just for my health and wellbeing but also because it is given me the chance to be part of the club community I’ve always supported. As a lifelong fan, it is incredible to feel connected to the club in a whole new way, not just from the stands but out on the pitch. The physical benefits are great—keeping active, improving my fitness, and boosting my overall health—but it is the sense of belonging that means the most. Being part of the club’s walking football team has brought new friendships, a shared sense of purpose, and the joy of representing the club I love. It’s not just about playing football; it’s about being part of something bigger, staying connected, and feeling like a valued member of the club family.”
