Sporting Memories
Non-profit Organizations
We help older people to reminisce, replay and reconnect through the power of sport.
About us
We are Sporting Memories. We help older people to reminisce, replay and reconnect through the power of sport. We provide social and physical activities, too. At Sporting Memories Clubs, everyone finds fun, friendship and increased well-being. The older adults who come to our online or community-based Clubs may be isolated, or living with low mood, dementia or other long-term conditions. Everyone has one thing in common: a love of talking about and remembering sport! We also run campaigns and projects – and work in partnership with organisations. And of course without our dedicated volunteer teams, we could not do the work we do.
