It’s that time of the year again, when Altrincham FC Community Sports' staff, participants and partners set off on their annual sponsored walk to raise much needed funds to support the running costs of the many programmes that support the physical & mental wellbeing of our community.

The walking team will set off on Good Friday at 6:30am from Rochdale’s Crown Oil Arena and walk the 20 miles back to The J.Davidson Stadium in time for Alty's big play-off chasing clash with Rochdale at 3pm (tickets here).

Head of Community Simon Dow was keen to highlight the importance of the sponsored walk.

“The sponsored walk has become an extremely important part of our fundraising campaign each year and provides the charity with funding that we can utilise to cover the costs that aren’t covered by our grant funding.

"With costs for utilities, equipment and salary continually increasing, it is becoming harder every year to find the funds to cover the general costs without impacting our user groups."
