Who remembers “Rebound” a fun old game at @SportsMemNet at Refresh Molesey today. Love the retro box! @robawhite

Dawn Astle reacts to the dementia findings. “I always thought there was a problem but my overall feeling is that I am staggered. These players who have suffered dementia must not be a statistic - they must never be forgotten. They must remain in the consciousness of the game.”

[Emma Russell @EmmaRosalyn11]

New findings from the FIELD study published today in NEJM - "Neurodegenerative Disease Mortality among Former Professional Soccer Players"

Being in a relationship is bliss. Sometimes.
Many couples have their own "themed irritations". Dementia may amplify undesirable habits. This begins at some point, though nobody may realise this due to the subtlety, whilst the frustration builds and the rows intensify...

[Esther Wiskerke @EstherWiskerke]

What an important study. Great that it has open access so it's possible to be read by many.

Here at Sudbury Town Hall to launch the very first rural hub as part of the Sporting Memories Network Rural Project in Suffolk.
Stakeholders, partners and participants hearing about what we do and what we want to achieve to address rural isolation & loneliness through memories.
