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.
Our Rich History of Partnerships
