Engaging Communities Through Inclusive Activities and Social Wellbeing
Reds Connect creates new opportunities for local people in the Central Area to engage, participate and connect. It helps address social isolation and loneliness, allowing participants to engender new relationships and enable local people to get active. Reds Connect is an all-age approach that offers opportunities for men and women of all ages to engage in several activities designed to facilitate all.

Walking Football
The Walking Football session gives people the opportunity to rediscover the joys of playing football and the basic elements of a match accessible to them by slowing the game down to a walking pace.
The game is usually delivered in a small-sided format using normal 5-a-side rules with the added rule of ‘no running.’ If you have previously enjoyed playing football or just want to get fit, then these sessions are ideal for you.
The sessions are structured and delivered by qualified instructors who are experienced in delivering these activities. Walking Football is not uniquely for older men. Men of all abilities are welcome. There may be some players recovering from injuries or have a health condition who may find the sessions preferable to regular 5-a-side football.
Our session runs every week at Barnsley FC Indoor Training Centre, Grove Street, Barnsley, S71 1ET
Open to Men and Women
Monday’s 12pm – 1pm – FREE
Walking Group
Our walking group is a free weekly walking programme for adults of any age or gender, with walks commencing from various locations around Central Barnsley.
The aim of the group is to help local people get out of the house and improve general health in a relaxed and supportive environment.
On top of the health benefits, there is a social aspect to the group with opportunities to have a chat and connect with others about anything and everything.
There is no need to sign up online, simply turn up at the meeting point of the walk and join what is a friendly and welcoming group for everyone within the community.
Fridays 12pm – 2pm Various Routes
