© Sporting Memories Network CIC
“I was incredibly interested to read of the Network’s aim of improving
the well-being of people with dementia and I welcome the valuable
contribution it makes to the grass roots development of Dementia
Friendly Communities – an initiative I personally champion as part of my
challenge on dementia.
Sport is an integral part of keeping fit and healthy, and indeed is an
activity that has the ability to evoke a great number of memories, from
childhood achievements to the recent success of Team GB at London
2012. As Prime Minister, I was lucky enough to attend a number of events
at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games and my memories of cheering
on our competitors will, I hope, remain with me forever.
This is the very reason that initiatives such as the Sporting Memories
Network are so valuable.”
The Prime Minister
