Since its formation in 2020 with just 12 members, Walking Football Strikers Aberdeen (WFSA) has experienced rapid growth, now supporting 80 members, 90 including a Parkinson’s group. This expansion was accelerated in 2021 through the partnership with Strikers Indoor Football and Padel and a collaboration with the Aberdeen City Health & Social Care Partnership. These alliances have allowed the organisation to move beyond Walking Football sessions to create a comprehensive exercise and social calendar that maximises physical, mental and social health benefits for its members and the local community.
