In case you haven't seen this, please support Community Sports Clubs. If you've ever played sport, or your kids have/do, you'll know they are the backbone of grass roots sport. Now, more than ever, they need your help. Thank you @BadmintonEnglnd @BBCSport

Fresh from Doubles success in Denmark, @ellis_marcus111 & @C_Langridge have sent their thanks to the badminton community.
Without grassroots, the boys would not be where they are. It is the players, coaches & fans who make our sport real.
We are #StrongerTogether

It's been 10 years since we lost Anders Nielsen, a talented badminton player who won several titles throughout his career.
The Anders Foundation was set up as his legacy and aims to help people of all abilities to achieve their sporting goals.

For anyone who is doing any small/ large efforts or any friend challenge/nominations with a donation involved.... a great cause to give to would be the Anders Foundation doing a lot of great work helping support junior and disabled badminton in England @BadmintonEnglnd

Not long to go now before we go to Minsk for the European Games. Great to see this as the team picked up their Adidas Team GB kit.
