Sporting Memories Group – Love to Move session

Love sport? Join our Sporting Memories sessions in Dunston!

We offer an age-friendly and dementia-friendly session that welcomes both caregivers and the people they care for to a fun fortnightly session around reminiscing, replaying and reconnecting with sports.

This is a fantastic forum to chat about sport, covering everything from the Olympic Games to England’s 1966 World Cup victory.

Join in the fun and games as we play sports such as boccia and mini golf, as well as enjoying memory-prompting discussions and sports memorabilia.

This week we’re running a ‘Love to Move’ session, a seated movement and gentle exercise programme developed by the British Gymnastics Foundation, to improve your physical mobility, memory,  cognitive and emotional wellbeing.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.

Who is the Sporting Memory group for?

The group can be attended by anyone aged 50 and over, regardless of their condition. We have a team of staff and volunteers here to deliver a fantastic experience to everyone who attends.

Can I use the group as an opportunity to take a short break from my caring role?

Yes, our two-hour sessions are perfect for caregivers to take a short break from their caring role by bringing the person they care for to our Sporting Memories session.

These sessions are possible thanks to our partnership with national charity Sporting Memories.
