Do you love talking about sport? Our clubs support older people who enjoy reminiscing about sport. Our volunteers love a bit of banter and sessions are about everyone having fun!
Sporting Memories needs volunteers with an ability to communicate well with others and to support club members who may have memory or physical health problems. The most important skill is to be able to listen and to get club members involved in the discussion. You will be part of a team of volunteers who will work together to improve the well-being of club members. Our volunteer induction process involves:
- An initial phone or face-to-face contact to talk about volunteering with us.
- An online training session re planning and running a club (3 hours).
- Fortnightly online sessions where you can meet other volunteers and be supported.
Experience required
No experience is required, just an ability to engage and communicate with people and to support those with who find it difficult to get involved or have health problems. A sense of humour and an ability to listen to others.
