British Volleyball Federation are delighted to be partnering with Action For Kids (AFK) to support events at Canary Wharf at their annual Beach pop up court in collaboration with SideOut UK. AFK have a long history of working with partner SideOut for these ‘pop-up’ beach courts in Canary Wharf, and now British Volleyball are working alongside them to promote the sport across beach and sitting and support the charities incredible work.
