A Wee Football Chat
A Wee Football Chat is aimed at tackling social isolation during the current coronavirus crisis.
Many people in Northern Ireland who live alone, or elderly couples who are socially isolated, often use football as a means to get out and about and to socialise.
A Wee Football Chat will pair socially isolated people with volunteers so they can chat about football over the phone.
The campaign is an extension of the popular tours provided at the Irish FA Education and Heritage Centre at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.
