Wombles Walk... back to Plough Lane

Event date: Saturday 30th April 2022

The Wombles Walk is a 10km or 20km sponsored walk, with AFC Wimbledon Fans, ex-players, staff and members of our local community taking to raise funds for AFC Wimbledon Foundation.

Starting on Wimbledon Common, where AFC Wimbledon held football trials 20 years ago, the routes go all around marvellous Merton, along the Wandle and… back to Plough Lane before the last game of the season against Accrington Stanley.

All money raised will enable AFC Wimbledon Foundation to continue helping our community pursue their dreams by improving people's skills, resilience, well-being and confidence.

People like J...

'When J first got in touch with AFC Wimbledon about the all-inclusive league, J was not keen in taking part. Although sociable amongst his peers, J was not comfortable playing with others. Through much persuasion, J finally agreed to take part. J has since attended all tournaments, attends all training sessions, and managed to find the confidence to find paid work for the first time in his life. I honestly believe that J would not of had the confidence to do this if it was not through the football. Playing and training in a safe environment, has seen his quality of life improve dramatically.'
