Talk FC

Monday's can only mean one thing! Talk FC at Noak Hill and what a cracking game we had tonight. A great turnout meant we fielded a strong 10 a side game and we saw some great tackles, great saves and some lovely finishes.
Most importantly we saw lads smiling, having banter and enjoying themselves whilst feeling comfortable and safe to speak about what is going on for them at the moment.

Great saves by Jay, braces from Paul, Kurt and George and some solid defending and interceptions from Indranil, Richard and Frasier. Well played all!

Fancy getting involved? Mondays at Noak Hill, Tuesdays at Fairlop and Fridays at Romford. Drop us a message below.

Our second trial session of Talk FC 50+ took place this afternoon where 4 new chaps joined us for a friendly kick about over the park. Some great football, a couple of cracking goals and a good chat at the end.

We will look to do a couple more sessions over the summer months in late August and September so if you are interested in getting involved, please drop a comment below.

Location: Harrow Lodge Park - just behind the Lakeview Cafe

Another great session last night down at FNF in Romford

Such a great group of lads

Create the environment men will talk

⚽ A Fantastic Start to TALK FC 50+! 💙

What a brilliant first TALK FC 50+ session! It was fantastic to see so many new faces come together for an afternoon of football, laughter, conversation and connection.

Whether you hadn’t kicked a ball in years or still play regularly, everyone was welcomed, supported and encouraged. That’s exactly what TALK FC is all about – creating a space where football brings people together and wellbeing comes first.

Want to join our next session:

📅 Join us this Sunday (2 August)
📍 Harrow Lodge Park
🕒 3:00pm

If you’re aged 50 or over, why not come along and give it a go? There’s no pressure, no judgement and no need to be super fit – just a friendly group of lads looking to stay active, make new friends and enjoy the benefits of getting out and talking.

💙 Football is just the excuse… the conversations are what really matter.

Bring a friend, a neighbour or simply come on your own – you’ll be made to feel welcome.

⚽💚 PLAYER FOCUS | Meet Ollie 💚⚽
Every player has a story.

Our Player Focus series shines a light on the people behind the football – why they joined TALK FC, what they get from attending, and what being part of our community means to them.

Everyone joins for their own reason, but one thing connects us all: the friendships, support and sense of belonging we’ve found along the way.

For our fourth in our player focus series, we’re proud to introduce the fantastic Ollie. Ollie is one of our newer additions to TALK FC and regularly attends Powerleague Romford, Noak Hill and Fairlop. We appreciate Ollie for being a big supporter of TALK FC and always delivering both on and off the pitch 📦📩📮

Take a minute over a brew to read Ollie’s story, and if you’ve ever wondered what TALK FC is really about, these stories say it better than we ever could.

💚 More Than Football. 💚

💙 Today is Talk To Us Day 💙

At TALK FC, every conversation matters.

Sometimes the hardest part is saying those first few words. Whether you’re struggling, feeling overwhelmed, lonely, stressed, or just not quite yourself, you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Talking won’t solve everything overnight, but it can make the load feel lighter. That’s what we’re here for.

Our football sessions are about far more than the game. They’re about connection, friendship, support, and creating a space where it’s okay to be yourself—on the good days and the difficult ones.

💬 Check in with a mate.
👂 Take time to listen.
🤝 Reach out if you need support.
⚽ Join us on the pitch—because no one should face life’s challenges alone.

It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to talk. And it’s always okay to reach out.

“A conversation could change—or even save—a life. Start one today.”
