Story
British Blind Sport (BBS) is the UK's only national sport and physical activity charity specifically for blind and partially sighted children and adults. There are more than 2 million people with sight loss in the UK and 350,000 people have sight loss that is severe enough to have a significant impact on their daily lives. People with sight loss are more likely to experience loneliness and nearly half report feeling isolated and cut-off from society. BBS uses the power of sport to change the lives of people with sight loss and support them in leading more active, independent and healthy lives. Only 12% of people with sight loss regularly take part in regular physical activity yet more than 62% want to take part in sport but experience barriers due to their disability.
As a teacher of PE, sport and physical activity, this charity seems most fitting for me. Please help me to raise much needed money to help others experience the joy that participation in sport can bring!
Thank you to every one who has supported me already!
