When asked how HAF benefits families, I talk about it tackling social isolation, the safeguarding role, offering respite or watching children's confidence grow. Never did we think we'd help discover a future Paralympian! Looking forward to watching Bly smash it at #Paris2024 🏓

[Brighton & Hove City Council @BrightonHoveCC]

Good luck to 14-year-old Bly Twomey who is heading to the @Paralympics next week!

Bly began playing table tennis 3 years ago at @BTTCOfficial through our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, funded by @educationgovuk.

I was privileged to receive an advanced copy of ‘I am Lenny Brown’ from @DanFreedman99. It sparked some great conversations with my 7-year-old about how differences can be our superpowers, as well as empathy. A definite recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
