We are honoured and deeply grateful. On behalf of the Over 50s Black Men Forum (O5BM), we extend our sincere thanks to Sarah Owen MP for her thoughtful parliamentary recognition of our work and mission. It is inspiring to have our efforts acknowledged at such a significant level.
Watch the recognition here: O5BM Gets MP Shout-Out in Parliament or the full session here.
Our O5BM Community Table Tennis Centres are more than just sporting spaces. They are health intervention hubs. Through regular physical activity, social connection, and health awareness, they actively contribute to the prevention and management of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), Diabetes, and Hypertension, conditions that disproportionately affect Black men over 50.
This impact would not have been possible without the dedicated support of our funding partners:
Your commitment and belief in our vision have turned ideas into lasting community assets, offering both recreational enjoyment and life-saving health benefits.
We at O5BM remain committed to breaking down health inequalities, tackling social isolation, and creating spaces where Black men and the wider community can thrive in mind, body, and spirit.
