British Blind Sport are keen to hear from blind and partially sighted people (and their parents) who are inactive or mildly inactive in order to shape their future work. The survey is running until 3rd November. Please do see their attached post and follow the link to their questionnaire to help guide their research and future activities, to encourage those with VI to access sports.
Take part in our research project.
British Blind Sport (BBS) wants to hear about the sport and physical activity preferences of blind and partially sighted people across the UK, particularly those who are currently mildly active/inactive and not engaged with our organisation.
Our research study will be conducted in two parts:
1. An online survey, open to blind and partially sighted people of all ages from 1st September-3rd November 2026
2. A series of in-person focus groups in a number of locations starting in Manchester and followed by Coventry, Warwickshire, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool and Preston.
The findings of this important research will directly shape BBS’s future work, including the sports clubs it supports through its VI Active Together programme, the delivery of multi-sport and sport specific Have a Go Days, and how the organisation priorities relationships with National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs).
We would be grateful if you could share the link to our survey with any family members, friends or colleagues who you think could provide us with valuable insights into their experience of sport and physical activity: 👉 www.britishblindsport.org.uk/forms/view/sportpreferences
If you would like to join one of our in-person focus groups, please email Shamira Naidu-Young for more details on [email protected]
