Sporting Memories
Sporting Memories is a social enterprise and charity that helps older people to stay connected and relive their glory days through the power of sport and physical activity.
Launched in 2011, Sporting Memories supports a wide range of people aged 50 plus, including those living with dementia, living with depression or facing isolation and loneliness to improve their mental and physical wellbeing through our regular club sessions, situated within local communities across the country.
The aim of Sporting Memories is to bring older people together with the aim of making a positive difference in their lives by providing them with a welcoming, supportive and structured environment where they can develop confidence to improve their lives for the better.
The sessions bring people together to connect, chat and reminisce, while some sessions offer a more active social environment, such as Walking Football.
Sessions & Venues
Our Sporting Memories sessions take place at various different sites across the city, so that you can always find the best session to suit you. For those who want a more active social meet up, we also offer a Walking Football session (see timetable for details).
