Become a community trainer for Move Your Mind – Table Tennis England

As part of the legacy of the Final ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships London 2026Table Tennis England and Suffolk Mind are working together to make this happen Move your mind – a practical, movement-based mental wellness program that combines the power of physical activity with proven tools to support mental health.

We are now recruiting community trainers to deliver sessions across London, with priority areas in Brent, Newham and Redbridge. Interest from other municipalities is also very welcome.

What the program offers

• Fully funded training led by psychotherapists from Suffolk Mind
• Extensive supply sources and ongoing support from Table Tennis England
• Equipment and promotional tools to help launch local sessions
• Robust evaluation framework focused on prevention, social connection and increasing activity for people with long-term health conditions (LTHCs) and disabilities

What we ask from partners

• Identify staff, coaches or volunteers to train as Move your mind coaches
• Support local delivery with locations, referrals and links to social prescribing pathways
• Engage in light touch monitoring, including a baseline examination and follow-up after 8 to 12 weeks

Please note: the training is fully funded, but participants are asked to commit to this 18 months delivery time after completing the course. If delivery does not take place (barring special circumstances), the course costs can be reclaimed.
