Sporting Memories needs volunteers who can communicate well with others and are able to support club members who may have memory or physical health problems. The most important skill is to be able to listen to club members and help them to get involved in the discussion. You will be part the facilitator of our online club on a Wednesday night. it will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth running of the club by providing Zoom links to members and clear instructions on how to join the session.

• Fortnightly online sessions where you can meet other volunteers and be supported.
