Jingle Balls 2015
Organised by British Blind SportFor Christmas this year, British Blind Sport want to give at least 100 jingle balls - a lightweight audible ball - to blind and visually impaired children to help them get active and playing sport.
Story
British Blind Sport (BBS) prides itself on making a visible difference through sport as we know that taking the first step into participating in a sporting or recreational activity can change lives for the better by improving health, spatial awareness, confidence and social interaction.
We believe that visual impairment should not be a barrier to a child being active. A jingle ball is a perfect way to introduce a visually impaired child to sport. Having already given a number of jingle balls away as part of our pioneering First Steps programme, we know how life-changing they can be.
One of the parents of a recent recipient of a jingle ball said, "It may seem a simple thing, but to have a ball specifically for him has made a huge difference. He loves it and wants to play with it all the time."
A jingle ball is only £10, so please donate today (you can always buy more than 1!!) and together we can make a visible difference to a blind child this Christmas.
