Anna Turner visited Shrewsbury Sports Village this week where she got to see the work of TSTC Disability Trampolining first hand.

The group, which was set up in Essex then brought to Shropshire by its founder Tricia Sharp, provides therapeutic training for adults with disabilities – using trampolines.

Mrs Sharp, who has been a British Gymnastics Trampoline Coach for more than 40 years, received the British Empire Medal for her services to the sport in 2021.
