Your Weekly Boost: Football for Mind, Body & Community
A new community-led initiative is bringing people together through the power of football to support mental health, tackle social isolation, and promote physical wellbeing.
The Football for Wellbeing Hub, run in partnership with West London NHS Trust, QPR in the Community Trust, Everyone Active’s Neighbourhood Sports Clubs programme, and Footy Addicts, offers free, safe, and inclusive football sessions for adults aged 18+ across West London.
Open to everyone — including community members, NHS service users, and West London NHS Trust staff — the hub provides therapeutic and social sessions designed to boost confidence, foster connections, and encourage healthy lifestyles. No prior football experience is needed.
Sessions are available in men-only, women-only, and mixed-gender formats at venues in Shepherd’s Bush, Paddington Recreation Ground, and Amberley Pitch in Westminster:
- Men Only: Wednesdays, 3–4pm – PowerLeague, Shepherd’s Bush
- Women Only: Saturdays, 11–12pm – Amberley Pitch, W9
- Mixed Gender: Saturdays, 12–1pm – Amberley Pitch, W9
- Mixed Gender: Fridays, 6–7pm – Paddington Recreation Ground, W9
The programme is delivered by the Lived Experience Hub, an outreach initiative that creates safe, supportive spaces for wellbeing in the local community.
Whether you want to meet new people, get active, or simply enjoy a kickabout in a welcoming environment, the Football for Wellbeing Hub is here to help you take that first step.
