Dementia Inclusion Training Programme

Age Scotland and Walking Football Scotland kicked off their consultation process yesterday July 15, looking to develop a new dementia inclusion training programme for walking football clubs.

The event was led by Age Scotland’s Sandra Brown, and attended on Zoom by WFS Trustees, regional representatives and some of our participants from across the country whose experiences and insights will be hugely invaluable in designing this training and ensuring we deliver an important tool in supporting and improving the walking football experience for all. 

It’s important for us to be aware of the specific challenges groups may face in seeking to be inclusive of people with dementia and to learn from the experiences of others on how they dealt with and what they put in place to overcome these challenges.

Our sincere thanks to everyone who attended and for their contribution in this first stage.
