Bly Twomey first picked up a bat at Brighton Table Tennis Club's holiday camp five years ago. At the Paris 2024 Paralympics she won won two bronze medals making her the youngest ever Paralympic Table Tennis medallist from anywhere in the world.

Her school Cardinal Newman have been so supportive of Bly's journey. Brighton Table Tennis Club and Bly would like to thank the school by raising funds for an outdoor table tennis table that will last for ever in the school playground.

This is table we would like to get for the school playground.

Thank you to Carlo aka C, Muzza, Sinbad, Mr Missirian for organising the football match on the 18th April and to Stephen Mooney for sponsoring all of the food and refreshments to help raise more money. Here's the full recording of the match.

Brighton Table Tennis Club started in 2007 with two worn-out tables and a belief in the power of table tennis to reach people of all ages, and to transform lives. Our founders Tim Holtam and Wen Wei Xu, started small in 2007 but since then our club has become a registered charity with two centres in Kemptown and Moulsecoomb.

We now run over 200 tables across the city in parks, squares, schools, sheltered housing schemes, a centre for homeless people, sports centres and a psychiatric hospital. We also work in three prisons outside the city.

The club runs over 90 sessions a week for over 2000 people of all ages and backgrounds. A bit thanks to the Catholic Church in Brighton who provided full time venues at The Fitzherbert's Centre in Kemptown and more recently in Moulsecoomb on the site of St Francis of Assisi.
