Grassroots Community Sports Summer Programme 😎

BTTC, VYD Football and Nam Yang Martial Arts teamed up with a week's notice to provide an incredibly successful Grassroots Community Sports summer programme at Moulsecoomb Primary School. Thanks to Brighton & Hove Council for supporting this, it was a brilliant collaboration and the feedback from the young people that took part was fantastic.

All of the organisations have benefited from new members and a carousel of activities kept everyone fresh throughout. Watch this space for more collaborative programmes in the school holidays with some of the best local sports clubs and coaches.

Play in All Comers Sessions 🏓

Come and play table tennis in our All Comers sessions! 'All Comers' sessions are suitable for any level and the coach will be on hand to help you with getting started. You do not need to bring a partner and bats are provided if you don't have your own.

Sessions are restricted to 10 players and must be pre-booked by emailing info@brightontabletennisclub.com

Reclaiming Church Space ⛪

Photos are of BTTC in 2015, and five years later since being in The Fitzherbert's Centre. 1st August is our fifth anniversary of being given keys to the building.

"A message to churches of all denominations from your local community- please don’t sell your buildings to property developers. Rather, work with grassroots community organisations, reimagine and repurpose their use."
