The charity British Blind Sport supports and encourages blind and partially sighted people, of all ages and abilities, to participate in sport and leisure activities., in and around their local areas.

They also work with sporting governing bodies, sports clubs and gyms to make their facilities and services more accessible for people with sight loss.

February 2020 sees the launch of the First Steps project, which will provide activity packs for young blind and partially sighted children.

As well as the packs, there will be support and events for families to enhance the potential of their little ones to enjoy active lives.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Alaina MacGregor, Chief Exec of British Blind Sport, to learn more about the project and it's goals.
