About this opportunity

Sporting Memories Foundation Scotland is looking for someone passionate about sport that enjoys talking with older adults and will bring their enthusiasm into the club session. The Session Supporter works as part of a team of Facilitators and Session Supporters to organise and run the club sessions including helping to set up the venue for the club session as well as welcoming members as they arrive, organising refreshments and tidying up at the end. The team of volunteers are there to ensure the smooth running of the club. Sporting Memories clubs support older people who may have a physical disability and/or memory issues. Some of the members are isolated and the club provides them with the opportunity to chat and reminisce about their favourite sports
