Sporting Memories Online Club Volunteer

Who we are: 

We are a charity and social enterprise that helps older people to reminisce, replay and reconnect 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 England, Scotland and Wales.

They are dedicated to bringing 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.  

Sporting Memories achieves this by offering a range of support mechanisms and unique products which are designed to aid the development and running of sessions in a range of locations including community and leisure centres, care homes, hospitals and a range of settings.

What are we looking for? 

Our Online Sporting Memories Club takes place every Friday between 11:30am to 12:30pm and we need support from volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the weekly sessions.

What would you be doing as a volunteer? 

Volunteers will be required to attend the sessions and help stimulate conversations with those in attendance as well as help the Sporting Memories team with any administration issues related to the club – for example sharing the right links with members prior to sessions. Volunteers will also be encouraged to create discussion points and activities for the sessions such as quizzes.

Volunteers will need access to an internet connection and a computer or laptop which is compatible with Zoom to join us.
