🏓 We're incredibly proud to see ETNA's over-50s table tennis group featured in the local news!

A special mention goes to Bernard Harrison and Eric Ruggier, both aged 94, who continue to play regularly at our twice-weekly sessions. Bernard, the reigning national Over-90s champion, and Eric, a former South African age-group champion, are proving that staying active, competitive and connected doesn't have an age limit.

Table Tennis is on every Monday & Thursday

Helping people develop new skills and save £££’s

Citizens Advice Richmond Money Management team is reaching out to support residents with the cost of living issues.

This free session is open to all, no booking required. Start time at 1pm.
• Tuesday 12th May
• 1 - 3pm
• ETNA Community Centre - Turner room (ground floor)

As part of this work, they will hold outreach sessions which focus on improving financial resilience of local residents through better budgeting, reducing fuel costs and water bills, and informing them of available support, such as national schemes, local grants, better deals for water, benefit checks, etc.

They offer practical advice to everyone and identify customers who could benefit from further support - vulnerable people, those who can't afford their bills, have debt, have a dispute with a supplier or want to raise a complaint. Appropriate referrals can be made for further help.
