Sporting Memories Foundation Scotland provides weekly clubs for those living with dementia and long-term health conditions, as well as those who are lonely/depressed with the aim of improving well-being and reducing isolation. We focus on sporting reminiscence, gentle physical activity and indoor games.
In 2019 the aim is to set up Sporting Memories clubs in the Kirkcaldy area and we're inviting local people and organisations to our open day so you can find out how to get involved. Whether you are looking for a volunteering opportunity or know someone who would benefit from attending, the team would love to meet you for a chat over a cuppa and a hobnob.
Open day details:
Tuesday 22nd January, 10am - 2pm
Kirkcaldy Rugby Club, Balwearie Road KY2 5LT

A new monthly group for carers of people living with dementia is starting on Wednesday 21st November at 7.30pm in the upstairs room at Watts Bar in Cupar. 
The group is the idea of carers who recently attended our dementia seminars in St Andrews and found the comfort they got from being in a group with other carers of someone living with dementia very helpful.  The group is going to be run by carers and aims to be a place for those to escape and chat to others coping with their loved ones illness. Get comfort and advice from those attending that are walking the path too.
Unlike the Memory Cafes the groups is for carers only not the person living with the dementia. It’s scheduled to allow people who work to join in too. You don’t need to book a place just come along to Watts on the 21st of November.

Many of us experience times when our mental well being comes under pressure and so it's really good to know what help there is to help ourselves recognise when we are at risk of becoming ill ,  to help us become more resilient and to protect our well being.
