#TableTennis is a great sport to keep you moving & active. You can play a slow low impact game or pick up the pace, depending on mobility, a fantastic way to improve hand eye coordination. Thanks to @Sport_England for funding our project, let's keep playing!

We've been out & about in our local community promoting Over 50s Access to sports, a fun table tennis project for #olderpeople, offering weekly, term time sessions to reduce social isolation and loneliness, bringing #over50s together! Supported by @Sport_England.

🍓 By getting more good food to our network of charities and community groups, it means we can help support organisations @FriendsOfWD provide healthy and nutritious options to their users.

Some of the most wonderful folk in Hackney, @FriendsOfWD are elders who know how to organise, have fun & make a difference.
Our doors are open each week to keep older people warm, meet friends, come together to chat, share stories, have a cuppa & take part in one of our many activities. Singalongs, quiz, exercise, card making & more. Reducing isolation and loneliness is our aim. Thanks to @TNLComFund
