How it works

We work in partnership with organisations and community venues, including sports clubs, community hubs, sheltered housing, care homes and hospitals to run both Sporting Memories Clubs and one-to-one activities.

Who we are

Sporting Memories Foundation (Registered Charity Number 1154474) is the World's first charity dedicated to Sports Reminiscence & Physical Activities.

Support Our Clubs

With your help Sporting Memories can keep our weekly clubs running and open new clubs, supporting former players and older fans alike

Why volunteer with us

By sharing memories of sporting moments however big or small, people are instantly connected, reawakening thoughts feelings and times that would have otherwise been undiscovered all because of a passion for sport.

Our Rich History of Partnerships
