Who You Engage
Your Walking Football 4 Health Victoria Team: Fully Committed To Your Health & Wellbeing
Walking Football 4 Health Victoria is powered by a dedicated team of passionate volunteers who are committed to promoting healthy and active lifestyles through walking football. These individuals generously donate their time, skills, and enthusiasm to ensure the success of our programs and the growth of our community.
Beyond their passion for the game itself, our volunteers bring diverse professional and personal experiences that strengthen the quality of every session. Each team member contributes unique skills that help create a welcoming, empowering, and enjoyable environment. Their shared commitment ensures participants feel valued, understood, and supported every step of the way.
Our team also plays a vital role in fostering meaningful social connections within the community. Whether guiding new participants, facilitating group warm-ups, or simply offering a friendly conversation on the sidelines, they help create a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the football pitch. This human connection — rooted in empathy, encouragement, and genuine care — is what makes Walking Football 4 Health Victoria more than a program; it makes it a community where everyone can thrive.

Our Approach
Making The World Game Safe, Fun, & Accessible For People Of All Ages, Abilities, & Fitness Levels
Mick Trim
Founder and Managing Director
Mick was born in Coburg, VIC but grew up in the UK, hence his accent and love of football (soccer). He is a supporter of Luton Town FC who currently play in the English Championship division. Mick moved permanently to Melbourne in 1996 and is married to Elma and has 3 children.
In 2016, Mick got diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, a nerve condition which basically means he is in pain somewhere in his body all the time. The condition meant he had to give up work, driving and playing sport. As a result, he became very depressed, until Walking Football came along.
He is now able to play the sport he loves, improving his mental health considerably. After a couple of years of playing, he started Walking Football 4 Health Victoria and, as they say, the rest is history.
To date, Mick has provided the opportunity for others in similar situations to play the sport, improve mental and physical health and created a supportive community.
