This is the seventh year Monica Machado Translation Services has selected and supported a suitable CSR project, and this year we thought we would make an effort to look for a social project which was completely different.

What could be more different than supporting a group of retired individuals who get together each week to keep fit by playing Walking Football? For anyone not familiar, this ‘new’ sport has grown rapidly in popularity in the UK in a very short space of time. In essence, it is football without running or physical contact which was promoted to encourage men and women over 50 years of age to get more mobile and to help counter social isolation. With over 800 teams now registered, thousands of older men and women have weekly fun playing football in a social environment at a leisurely pace. Although it was originally aimed at players over 50, there are many over 65, and even some over 80!

Mónica is pictured below making a presentation of Team Tote Bags to David Spray of local Walking Football team, Athletico Ross on Wye.

The Team Tote Bags and Medical Kit Bags distributed by Monica Machado Translation Services feature Mónica Machado’s logo on the front and the Athletico Ross’s logo on the reverse side.

Our causes are selected every year from a range of projects. If you are a current client and have a CSR project that you think should be considered for our next CSR project, please contact us.
