SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND ADULTS TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Our health and wellbeing programmes target older people, young children and everyone in between thanks to a comprehensive range of initiatives designed to help everyone improve their health.

We run special activities for older people, such as Walking Football and Football Memories, and a variety of school-based programmes for young children focusing on nutrition and exercise, such as Get Ready For Sport and Joy of Moving

One of the Foundation’s most popular programmes is Football Fans in Training, an initiative for adults aged 35 – 65. FFIT is Europe’s leading healthy lifestyle community programme in football and helps overweight men and women improve their fitness, lose weight and train with fellow fans at Ibrox. This season alone 84 adults lost a collective total of over 320kg and 544cm from their waists!

Participants are also given the opportunity to enjoy a free continuation programme, FFIT For Life, which helps them to maintain and build upon their successes from the course.

We have also expanded our provision within mental wellbeing this season by adding an additional ‘football and check in’ session to our Team Talk initiative, as well as continuing with the Changing Room programme.

I became involved in the programme as I had reached almost 26 stones and had to change my life as I could hardly leave the house. FFIT was win or bust for me and thankfully it has worked to change my life. My mental health and outlook on life is fantastic.
