What is Sporting Memories doing?

On Monday 16 March, we took the decision to suspend all Sporting Memories Clubs in England, Wales and Scotland – from and including Wednesday 18 March. Find out more about our decision to suspend our Clubs.

The Sporting Memories Network and The Sporting Memories Foundation in both England and Scotland continue to follow official guidance and are committed to reviewing the situation regularly. This includes:

Regular communication with our staff and volunteers

Keeping informed as far as possible those who attend our sessions and their carers and family members, and signposting them to the latest information

Developing digital resources for participants, carers and family members to use at home

Planning for the re-opening of sessions

Keeping in touch

If you are a Club participant, family member or carer, please take the opportunity to sign up for Club updates and receive the new digital version of our weekly publication the Sporting Pink.
