Nelson Health Centre

Our partnership with the nelson health centre

The AFC Wimbledon Foundation is delighted to partner with The Nelson Health Centre, who since 2015 have played a key role in the local community by providing health facilities such as: GP surgeries; mental health services; minor surgery facilities; specialist outpatient clinics and support services for older people.

The Foundation’s new partnership with The Nelson Health Centre will bring about several benefits for the local community because of the outreach of the Foundation and the health services that The Nelson has to offer. You can expect:

  • Mid week and evening free/affordable regular and walking football sessions for groups such as inactive adults, males over 50, women and patients at the local St George’s hospital

  • Health and fitness programmes for families and older residents such as Pilates, yoga and dance sessions

  • ‘Sporting Memories’ sessions to help with dementia support for local residents

  • Matchday activities at our stadium, such as health checks for supporters

  • Activities that support local health campaigns focusing on heart disease, nutrition, diabetes, and mental health

  • Establishing a community sport and health activity hub at our stadium

We love to stay connected and close to the community, so The Nelson and AFC Wimbledon Foundation are asking local residents and families to put forward ideas and suggestions of other health and well-being activities they would like to see. Residents can share their thoughts through the Fulcrum website or via social media on the AFC Wimbledon Foundation Twitter page and the Fulcrum Twitter page.
