Our mission & values

We aim to provide a regenerative, health-focused football environment, promoting well-being and quality football for all.

In addition to Vets football, we also facilitate Walking Football for:

  • Men over 45

  • Women over 30

If you are under these ages and would still like to give walking football a try please contact us.

We raise funds for Lewes Football Foundation, ensuring football remains accessible and community-driven.

When you play at the club, you sign up to be broadly supportive of this approach to community football.

Our core values

At Lewes FC Walking Football, everything we do is built on three key values:

✅ Compassion
✅ Fairness
✅ Inclusivity
