Videos…

A selection of video clips focusing on homelessness, and mental health problems exacerbated by isolation, and physical incapacity. Sport can play a vital role in improving our bodily and mental well-being. These issues increasingly affect the elderly, and The National Vintage Games is supporting charities that seek to address them.
