The Daggers Trust recently held talks with Essex FA and Leisure United and has introduced Walking Football sessions this month at Parsloes Park.
The sessions are open to men and women aged 40+ for a nominal sum eg £2-3 per session, with the first month free of charge.
Walking Football provides a great opportunity for people to get out, make new friends, have fun, undertake exercise, lose weight, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and much, much more.

At some point in the near future, we plan to introduce Disability Football at the same venue.
£512.75 raised, on a very wet Diversity Day, in aid of the Daggers Trust EASST Match Funding Target
A big "Thank You" to all of you who turned out in the rain on Saturday for Diversity Day.
We raised £512.75 towards the EASST Match Funding Target and the current balance stands at £3,500. Nearly at the halfway point, with another £4,000 left to raise.
A fun day in the rain, cemented by the win and 3 points, breaking the DCDD "We always lose on DCDD" jinx.
All funds go towards the free football weekly sessions for local children, at Goals Dagenham,
Once again, the Essex and Southend Sports Trust (EASST) has generously stepped in to support the Daggers Trust. We need £25,000 each year to run our Kickstart4Kids football programme which replaced the PL Kicks sessions when the PLCF funding was cut after the Club's relegation from the EFL. Last year, with the support of fans, families, the players, local companies and the Club, we were able to raise £7,500 in match funding in one month to add to the £17,500 donation provided by EASST.
EASST has offered the Daggers Trust the same deal this year and we are now seeking to raise £7,500 in match funding.
Donations can be made on the Just Giving page by clicking HERE.
In addition to the above funding, EASST has given the Trust a further £5,000 to make up the shortfall brought about by the Club's relegation to the National League South.
We cannot find words sufficiently good enough to thank EASST for their continued support and generosity.
