BBS is the only national sports disability charity in the UK that specifically supports people with sight loss to take part in sport and recreational activities, ensuring that people with sight loss have the same opportunities as sighted people to experience the power of sport in their lives.

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.
