At BBS, we believe in the transformative power of sport and physical activity. In a world where isolation can be a reality for many with sight loss, sport and physical activity is more than just exercise – regular physical activity is not only about good physical health, it also boosts confidence, increases resilience and builds friendships which all add up to better health and wellbeing.

In the UK, only 12% of people with sight loss participate in regular physical activity, while 64% are keen to take part but experience barriers to access.

Our mission is to break down these barriers and make sport and physical activity accessible to all blind and partially sighted people in the UK. This Christmas, your donation can help us to expand our services, reach more blind and partially sighted people and break down those barriers to participation.

BBS is a small and ambitious charity and when you donate, you will make a difference by helping BBS to provide more services that will help more people with sight loss than ever before.

What your donation could provide:

A gift of £15 could provide an hour of personalised 1-1 support to a blind or partially sighted individual via the BBS Helpline, addressing and overcoming the unique challenges faced by people with sight loss.

Your gift of £25 could provide a ‘First Steps’ pack for blind and partially sighted children - this project provides specialist support that empowers children aged 3-11yrs with the skills and confidence they need to become more physically active & reach their potential.

Your gift of £50 could provide a 60 min ‘Active At Home’ workout class that can be accessed by hundreds of blind and partially sighted people across the UK from their own homes. Helping them, wherever they are, to get active and stay active, as part of our supportive online community.

Thank you so much for helping make a difference!
