Keighley Table Tennis Centre is running new inclusive table tennis sessions every Tuesday for people with Parkinson's.

New table tennis sessions at Keighley Table Tennis Centre are helping people with Parkinson's stay active and connected. The inclusive sessions run every Tuesday and are led by professional coach Steve Rowe, who has over 47 years of experience.

The programme includes warm-ups, fun bat-and-ball activities and table time, designed to support movement, balance, coordination and confidence. The sessions aim to provide important benefits of friendship and social inclusion alongside the physical activity.

Steve Rowe said the sessions are designed for people regardless of when they were diagnosed with Parkinson's, whether early or longstanding. He emphasised that no previous table tennis experience is needed and that everything is delivered in a friendly, supportive and enjoyable way.
