Supporting Former Footballers Living With Dementia

Steve Elliott celebrated his 60th birthday in September. A former professional footballer, Steve started his career at Nottingham Forest after signing apprentice forms with Brian Clough and later signed professional forms at the age of 18.
Football, Dementia and Me.

Alan Shearer's groundbreaking BBC One documentary explored the possible links between football and dementia, we look back on the progress made and continue our campaign to support former players.
How We Work

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.
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.
Who we are - Scotland

Our Charity in Scotland.
Our Rich History of Partnerships

Sporting Memories Network has developed a compelling, dynamic and innovative approach to tackling the challenges of an ageing society. Our training, resources and project support are designed in partnership with our service users, carers and volunteers.
Where your money goes

Where does your money go and what impact does it have
Donate Books, Memorabilia and Match Programmes

Why not take a few minutes to dig out any old programmes, sports biographies, annuals, shirts, scarves, boots and any other sporting memorabilia that could be put to use at our sporting memories clubs?
One-to-one reminiscence

Whilst we know the benefits of socialising and attending the weekly clubs, one to one reminiscing can also be an enjoyable and beneficial activity
