Free inclusive Sporting Memories group coming to Kew

From Wednesday 8 October, our new Sporting Memories group opens its doors to older people experiencing isolation, managing a health condition, or facing other challenges. Join us in a welcoming space designed to boost wellbeing and spark meaningful connections.

Reminisce, replay and reconnect through the power of sport and physical activity with these age-friendly and dementia-friendly sessions. They have been developed by the Council in partnership with Sporting Memories and Richmond Gymnastics Association.

The group provides a forum to chat and share memories about sport, as well as a chance to participate in ‘Love to Move’, a chair-based gymnastics exercise programme developed by the British Gymnastics Foundation.

Come along and enjoy a regular activity away from home that improves your overall wellbeing! 

• Date: every Wednesday from 8 October to 17 December (excluding 29 October)
• Time: 11.30am to 12.30pm
• Location: Richmond Gymnastics Association, 1 Townmead Road, Kew, TW9 4EL

To sign up, contact 0208 878 8682 or email rga@richmondgymnastics.co.uk quoting Sporting Memories.

The group is expected to carry on into the new year. Arrangements will be announced closer to the date.
