Stride On: Football for Men affected by Cancer

In partnership with UCLH Cancer Charity, Stride On is part of our Premier League and Professional Footballers’ Association-supported Health Programme, designed to support men affected by Prostate Cancer through the power of walking football and social connection.

About the Programme

Since October 2023, Arsenal in the Community has teamed up with UCLH Cancer Fund to deliver a weekly walking football project tailored for men impacted by Prostate Cancer.

Each session includes:

  • 1-hour walking football – an inclusive and enjoyable way to stay active.
  • 45-minute social support group – a safe space to connect, share experiences, and discuss football over tea or coffee.
  • Guest speaker sessions – occasional talks providing insight, inspiration, and support.
