Jingle Balls 2016
Give the gift of sport this Christmas to a VI child. This campaign will raise funds towards BBS' youth fund, which supports visually impaired children by helping them take their first steps into sport
Story
At BBS, we believe that sight loss should not be a barrier to a child being active. Our youth fund enables us to provide opportunities for VI children aged between 4 -16; allowing them to have the same opportunities as their sighted peers.
An example of our work with children is through the distribution of audible balls - or as it's Christmas, "jingle balls"! A jingle ball is a perfect way to introduce a VI child to sport. Having given a number of jingle balls away as part of our pioneering First Steps project (something we aim to continue in 2017), we know how life-changing they can be.
A parent of a 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 anything you can today towards our Jingle Balls campaign and your money will help us to make a visible difference to a blind child this Christmas.
