#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!

🍓 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.
