British Blind Sport (BBS) is excited to launch our annual Christmas Appeal campaign on 24 November that will show how the power of sport can change lives. Our goal is to increase awareness of sport for people with sight loss in the UK and raise essential funds to support our services in 2024.

We know that sharing powerful personal stories can have a huge positive impact on our community, inspiring and challenging people to try out a new sport or physical activity and promoting a more inclusive sports community for all.

BBS is seeking active individuals who would like to share their inspiring experiences as part of our annual Christmas Appeal campaign. We want to show how there is a sport or physical activity out there for everyone and promote the amazing health and well-being benefits that regular activity can have on your life.

If you would like to help other people with sight loss by sharing your story, or you would like to nominate someone with sight loss who you think is inspiring, please complete the following form by answering a few short questions - https://britishblindsport.org.uk/forms/view/christmasappealstories.

If you have any questions or need assistance with completing the form, please don't hesitate to contact our Communications Officer, Laura Sheehan, by emailing support@britishblindsport.org.uk who will be happy to assist you.

The deadline for submissions is 5pm, Thursday November 16th.
