A visible difference through sport’

The work of the charity enables blind and partially sighted people to have the same opportunities as sighted people to access and enjoy sport and recreational activities in the UK.

Sport and recreational activities can enhance the lives of people with visual impairments, by improving their health and increasing their social interaction. We encourage adults and children to participate in activities at all levels, from grassroots to the Paralympic Games.

We've been asked to run our Countdown to Sight Village #C2SV for the fourth year running and it was a pleasure to speak to Karen Easthope who coordinates these events at QAC. There are some new exhibitors for 2017 and we're hoping to interview more than ever. Sight Village Birmingham is taking place on July 18th and 19th this year but if you can't make it, enjoy our countdown and see what charities,organisations and businesses are out there providing services and support to blind and partially sighted people.
