This initiative is coordinated through Active Blackpool, with facilities support from Common Edge Sports Village.
Jack, part of the sports development team at Common Edge Sports Village, is supporting session organisation and venue provision, helping to ensure a safe, structured, and welcoming pathway for women into walking football.
The partnership provides a high-quality entry point into walking football for women living in Blackpool and the wider Fylde Coast.
