Let's talk sport

Our Sporting Memories sessions are designed to get conversation flowing, help re-live positive memories and provide joy and companionship.

At a time when we are all missing live sport and many of us need to stay at home, we have put together some fun, online sports-based activities and resources – many of which can be printed out. They are all based on activities we do at our Sporting Memories Clubs.

We will add to these resources each week – so do keep checking!

Learn more about One-to-One Reminiscence

Our staff and volunteers receive training in sports reminiscence and bring their skills and knowledge to each session. However, don't let this stop you having fun with our resources!

Our training video will give you some hints and ideas:
