Sport In Mind provide sports and physical activities for those with mental health problems.
We are currently looking for volunteers to help with our table tennis sessions at Rivermead on Wednesdays!
If you are able to play table tennis and are willing to support our coach in volunteering at our session then you will be welcome to come for an informal chat.
Volunteers are a key part of our sessions, supporting and encouraging the group and joining in with activities, making the sessions enjoyable for all. An understanding of how sport and physical activity can have a positive impact on mental health would be helpful.
