Last week, Table Tennis England delivered an Activator course at ExtraCareâ€s Lovatt Fields Village, as part of a growing collaboration to bring table tennis to care villages across the region.
The session brought together staff and residents from both Lovatt Fields and Shenley Wood Villages, who took part in an engaging and practical workshop designed to help them use table tennis as a fun, accessible, and social activity for their communities.
This initiative forms part of a wider partnership between Table Tennis England and ExtraCare, which will see regular sessions and coaching support delivered by an experienced local coach. The aim is to provide residents with opportunities to stay active, improve mobility, and reduce social isolation through the joy of table tennis.
“It was wonderful to see how enthusiastic both staff and residents were, Table tennis is a simple yet powerful way to bring people together, spark movement, and create moments of joy.â€

Many of the staff who took part specialise in supporting residents living with dementia and Parkinsonâ€s, and they welcomed the chance to add another tool to their work in enhancing residents†physical and emotional wellbeing.
With continued support from Table Tennis England, Lovatt Fields and Shenley Wood Villages are now set to lead the way in showing how table tennis can make a real difference to life in care communities.
