Welcome to Badminton

Welcome to Badminton Registered Charity 1209397 Welcome to Badminton is open to anyone who would like to play the sport. No need for any experience - just come along and try it out.

Welcome to Badminton offers badminton and other sports sessions for asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in the northeast, and is supported by Sport England and Badminton England. You don't need any equipment. We will provide you with racquets and shuttles and explain how to play the game. We have players from lots of countries who speak lots of different languages, but the common language is fun

! This project has received funding from Sport England which helps us to pay to hire courts, buy shuttles and reimburse travel costs if necessary. We are also grateful for help and equipment given by Badminton England. Get in touch if you want to come and try the game. We are currently playing at The Eagles Stadium on Scotswood Road, NE4 7ST on Wednesdays 3.30 - 5.30

Volunteering Matters invited Welcome to Badminton to run a social action project and here are some photos of our events. We tried out a Park Run in Leazes Park on a lovely. sunny September morning. We went to Corbridge on the train for a walk and a look around the village and we went to the Tyneside Cinema for the premiere of the film Bugonia.
We enjoyed the opportunity to visit new places and meet new people.

Future social events coming soon!

Come and join us on Saturday for a Park run and Games in the Park.🤩
