At Table Tennis England, we want everyone to enjoy and achieve in table tennis.

By sharing stories, such as your own, we can demonstrate the positive impact that table tennis has on people’s lives.

The story you choose to share might fall under at least one of the following themes:

• Physical wellbeing: how table tennis has encouraged you to get active, supported you to prevent or manage ill health, improved quality of sleep, or helped you to achieve your physical goals.

• Mental wellbeing: how table tennis has contributed to reducing anxiety or depression symptoms, increased life satisfaction, increased feelings of enjoyment or happiness, or given you a sense of purpose.

• Individual development: how table tennis has supported employment opportunities, improved educational attainment, reduced anti-social behaviour, or helped you develop new skills such as independence.

• Social and community development: how table tennis has promoted social trust, reduced isolation, or brought you together with individuals from different backgrounds.
