We use the power of sporting memories to improve the wellbeing of older people

Story

Since establishing Rovers Chat in July 2017, we have raised money for a number of charities.

We are looking to continue raising money for as many charities as possible, and this time we are supporting Sporting Memories UK.

The story of Tony Parkes' Alzheimer's disease diagnose concerned all Rovers fans, and charities like Sporting Memories help 'tackle dementia, depression and loneliness'.

Please donate what you can. Anything helps.

Thank you. 

Taken from the Sporting Memories website:

"We are Sporting Memories. For 10 years we have been using the power of remembering and talking about sport – along with physical exercise – to tackle dementia, depression and loneliness. We are dedicated to bringing together older adults.

The older adults who come to our online or community-based Clubs may be isolated, or living with depression, dementia or other long-term conditions. They are fans, former players, family members. Everyone has one thing in common: a love of sport.

We provide social and physical activities, too. At Sporting Memories Clubs, everyone finds fun, friendship and increased well-being.

We also run campaigns and projects – and work in partnership with organisations. From sporting bodies such as the PFA and professional clubs to local community organisations and care providers. And of course without our dedicated volunteer teams, we could not do the work we do."
