Huddersfield Giants Community Trust organises weekly meetings for sports fans, especially of Huddersfield Giants and Rugby League to share their memories over years gone by.
We are dedicated to bring older adults together to share their passion – the love of sport!
HGCT recognises that older adults may struggle from isolation, low confidence, dementia or ill-health. With a keen focus to help combat this we use the power of sport to create an atmosphere that can bring happy and good memories through reminiscence.
Using memorabilia, photos, positive recollections from Huddersfield Giants or local community clubs we use these tools to start conversations, share memories, provide enjoyment and make new friendships.
We get together every Thursday at 11am. Designed for an informal approach, the sessions are led by you and others where you share talking points to discuss.
A free session to attend, with no commitment needed we get together every Thursday at 11am.
Currently due to the pandemic sessions are held virtually via the online portal zoom, but once restrictions allow they will become weekly fixtures at our home, The Zone.
HGCT is always on the lookout for volunteers that could either help facilitate or support the sessions. We’d love to hear from you if you may be interested.
