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. One Year On

On the anniversary of Alan Shearer's groundbreaking BBC One documentary exploring the possible links between football and dementia, we look back on the progress made and launch a new campaign to support former players.

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.
