BBS is the UK's only national sports and physical activity charity exclusively for children and adults with sight loss. People with sight loss are twice as likely to be inactive as people without sight loss and we need your help to change this. 2 in 3 people with sight loss say there are physical activities that they want to do but aren't able to.
There are more than 350,000 children and adults who are blind or partially sighted and they need our help now more than ever before. People with sight loss are more likely to experience loneliness and nearly half report feeling isolated and cut-off from society. Two-thirds of people with severe sight loss are living below the poverty line and over 90% of those who lose their sight in their youth will never have a long-term job.
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.
