FOOTBALL with a difference is on its way to Northallerton.
Hambleton District Council and Age UK North Yorkshire are working together to launch "Walking Football" in the town.
“Walking Football is just as is sounds,” explained David Ita, from Age UK North Yorkshire.
“It's a standard game of football where participants walk instead of run.
“We are hoping to start the sessions in the summer at Hambleton Leisure Centre in Northallerton.
"The sessions will be a great way to have fun, stay healthy, meet new people and have a coffee afterwards.”
Female and male participants are welcome. Anyone interested in the scheme is asked to contact Age UK on 01609-771624 or via Northallerton@ageuknorthyorkshire.org.uk for more information.
