#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!

Regular #exercise is important as you age to strengthen your lower limbs & keep you moving. We provide vibrant weekly sessions to improve flexibility & mobility. #fallprevention #olderadults #over50s

Each week we host activities for older people. Tunde from Tado Cermanics leads pottery sessions, showing our members clay work techniques to create, decorate and paint a range of stunning pots! It's never too late to learn something new!! ✨️ #Over50s #Hackney @TNLComFund
