Manhnoor has received immense support from Christine through the Sport Project, they provided training and advice. She has setup a watsapp group and she has been publicising her Table tennis and Badminton sessions in other groups e.g Women Wellbeing Support group and Women fitness group. Christine has supported her to access Waterside centre in South Norwood, Thornton Heath Leisure centre and Waddon leisure. The first session will be on the 8th July at Thornton Heath Leisure centre as there is no place in Broad Green. Mahnoor has aksed for help with her leaflet and we will have Best Start logo for parents to attend.
