This allows for social interaction among participants and new friendships to be formed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following \u2018half-time\u2019 refreshments, the \u2018second half\u2019 facilitates physical activity with a range of activities and sports including boccia, target games and a range of balance and strength exercises. This is a gradual introduction, slowly increasing physical activity levels from a starting point of being inactive.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside this, the Sporting Memories Foundation delivers activities outside of the weekly clubs, such as trips to sports museums, sports games, meals out, walks, and even many Christmas parties and meals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe see our work being very important for older people across Wales,\u201d Kelly Hart, Director of Impact and Fundraising at the Sporting Memories Foundation, told the WSA, \u201cespecially for older men. Often men do not engage in community activities as much as women.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur work supports their interests and engages them through chatting about sport. Our activities have a huge benefit for participants; for some of our beneficiaries it will be the only thing they do and the highlight of their week.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as the participants, carers and loved ones are positively impacted by Sporting Memories\u2019 work. Providing vital respite and peace of mind, the clubs build peer networks for different groups of people across Wales.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe improve mental wellbeing through beneficiaries regularly participating in welcoming environments that are personalised to the attendees,\u201d Kelly explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur participants develop confidence, self-esteem and resilience that builds positive routines, reaffirms a sense of identity, and develops agency.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt the same time older people report decreased social isolation and perceived loneliness, in part through developing strong and mutually supportive relationships with fellow participants and volunteers, many of whom they go on to meet up with outside of the sessions.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as activities stimulating attendees physically, the social connection enables older people to have the confidence to engage with health services and other community networks, as Kelly explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough regularly participating in inclusive sports-related activities, attendees (including many with chronic, degenerative conditions) become more physically active and feel more confident in pursuing physical activities both within the community Clubs and in their daily lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have individuals who\u2019ve now taken up cycling and swimming again after many years.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur attendees develop strong, pro-social networks, and develop the skills, confidence, and awareness to engage with wider health and community networks in their locality,\u201d Kelly confirmed. \u201cThe peer support encourages them to go and get health concerns checked out or access more support if needed. This is particularly pertinent to our older carers.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sporting Memories Foundation has collaborated with an array of organisations in Wales to maximise their impact, including fellow WSA members Ospreys in the Community, Cardiff City FC Community Foundation and Glamorgan Cricket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese partners have local reach and networks, as well as being trusted and known names locally, which helps to expand our activities quickly and engage local people,\u201d Kelly explained. \u201cUtilising their comms activities, our name and impact are getting more noticed in local areas, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe partnerships offer new opportunities. For example, working with Glamorgan Cricket, our Club members have had a recent trip to Sophia Gardens!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;These collaborations with many organisations across Wales have helped us to open more clubs and reach more older people,\u201d Kelly continued.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are a small organisation and rely on partners and volunteers to help facilitate our Clubs, delivering our model. With only one staff member (Rob, our local Co-ordinator) it\u2019s hard to be everywhere and talk to everyone. Rob connects to partners who share our vision, values and aims to see how we can work together, specifically against our theory of change and Club Charter that helps replicate the model in new areas.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WSA is delighted to see member organisation harness the power of sport to support individuals in local communities across Wales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sport has the power to change lives and support people in various capacities, as Sporting Memories do with older people\u2019s mental wellbeing on a weekly basis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelly concluded by reaffirming how important mental health and maintaining our mental wellbeing is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone&#8217;s mental wellbeing impacts our daily lives and the choices we make. Having good mental health makes you feel better, and it helps us to cope with negative situations and uncertainties, as well as making and keeping good relationships with other people, be it friends or family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s important to have opportunities, such as social activities like Sporting Memories, to help those who need a helping hand, and ensure that they do not feel they are alone whilst making new friends and enjoying new activities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find a range of resources,
