“I’m very pleased to be volunteering with Sporting Memories and it is precisely the kind of thing I had been looking for...It has not been in the slightest bit stressful or difficult from the word go. It has been fun from the start.”

What we do

We are Sporting Memories. For 10 years we have been using the power of remembering and talking about sport – along with physical exercise – to tackle dementia, depression and loneliness. We are dedicated to bringing together older fans, former players, family members.
