At Tower Family Healthcare, we are passionate about supporting our local community. That’s why we are proud to sponsor Bury Relics walking football team! ⚽
We’ve backed the Relics since 2019 and have recently kitted them out with a brand new team strip to make sure they look the part when out on the pitch.
About Bury Relics
Since 2017, Bury Relics have been giving players aged 50+ the chance to stay active through walking football. Whether it’s more informal community sessions or competitive matches, they offer something for everyone. With an impressive five squads competing in the 2025 Greater Manchester Walking Football League (two over 60s, an over 65s, over 70s and a new over 75s squad that will be wearing the new kit), they really are making their mark on the pitch!
Why we love walking football
Walking football isn’t just a game – it’s a game changer.
It keeps players moving, motivated and connected, and the benefits go far beyond fitness. Walking football can:
- Reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
- Improve balance, core strength and bone density.
- Lower cholesterol and blood pressure.
- Boost mental wellbeing, confidence and social connections.
Most importantly, it’s fun! And when exercise is enjoyable, people stick with it.
